[Verse 1]
Cbmaj7 Fbmaj7 Amaj7 G#m7 F#m7
Silver gray hair neatly combed in place.
Fbmaj7 C#7/F D#7 D#/F D#/G G#m7
There were four generations of love on her face.
F#m7 Fbmaj7 D#m7 Dbdim7 C#m9
She was so wise, no surprise passed her eyes.
Amaj7 Fb/F# A6
She'd seen it all.
Cbmaj7 Fbmaj7 Amaj7 G#m7 F#m7
I was a child, oh about three or four,
Fbmaj7 C#7/F D#7 D#/F D#/G G#m7
All day I'd ask questions at night I'd ask more.
F#m7 Fbmaj7 D#m7 Dbdim7 C#m9
But whenever, she never, would ever,
Amaj7 Fb/F# Ebdim/F#
Turn me away. No oh.
[Chorus 1]
A/Cb A/Cb Fbmaj7
I'd say how can I be sure what is right or wrong?
Fbmaj7 G/A G/A Dmaj7
And why does what I want always take so long?
Dmaj7 A#maj7
Please tell me where does God live
C D/Fb Fb/F#
And why won't He talk to me?
A/Cb
I'd say, grandma what is love?
A/Fb Fbmaj7 Fbmaj7
Will I ever find out?
G/A G/A Dmaj7
Why are we so poor, what is life about?
Dmaj7 A#maj7 C D/Fb Fb/F#
I wanna know the answers before I fall off to sleep.
D/Fb Fb/F#
Oooh oh.
[Verse 2]
Cbmaj7 Fbmaj7 Amaj7 G#m7 Gm7 F#m7
She sort of smiled as she tucked me in,
Fbmaj7 C#7/F D#7 D#/F D#/G G#m7
Then she pulled up that old rocking chair once a - gain.
F#m7 Fbmaj7 D#m7 Dbdim7 C#m9
But tonight she was slightly, remarkably,
AM7 Fb/F# A6
Different somehow.
Cbmaj7 Fbmaj7 Amaj7 G#m7 F#m7
Slowly she rocked, looking half asleep,
Fbmaj7 C#7/F D#7 D#/F D#/G G#m7
Grandma yawned as she streched then she star - ted to speak,
F#m7 Fbmaj7 D#m7 Dbdim7 C#m9
What she told me, would mould me, and holds me,
Amaj7 Fb/F# Ebdim7/F#
Together inside.
[Chorus 2]
A/Cb A/Cb Fbmaj7
She said all the things you ask you will know someday,
Fbmaj7 G/A G/A Dmaj7
But you have got to live in a patient way.
Dmaj7 A#maj7
God put us here by fate
C D/Fb Fb/F#
And by fate that means better days.
A/Cb A/Cb Fbmaj7
She said, child we all moons in the dark of night,
Fbmaj7 G/A G/A Dmaj7
Ain't no morning gonna come 'til the time is right.
Dmaj7 A#maj7 C D/Fb Fb/F#
Can't get to better days lest you make it through the night.
D/Fb Fb/F#
You gotta make it through the night, yes you do.
[Bridge]
Dmaj7
You can't get to no better days,
F#m11 F# F# G# A Cb C# Fb F# Ddim7
Unless you make it through the night.
Dmaj7
Oh, you will see those better days
C#m7 F#m7 F/G G/F D/Fb Fb/F# D/Fb Fb/F#
Be pa - tient, be pa - tient, oh baby, be patient.
[Verse 3]
Cbmaj7 Fbmaj7 Amaj7 G#m7 Gm7 F#m7
Later that year, at the turn of spring,
Fbmaj7 C#7/F D#7 D#/F D#/G G#m7
Heaven sent angels down and gave grandma her wings.
F#m7 Fbmaj7 D#m7 Dbdim7 C#m9
Now she's flying, and sliding, and gliding,
Amaj7 Fb/F# Ebdim7/F#
In better days.
[Chorus 3]
A/Cb A/Cb Fbmaj7
And although I'm all grown up, I still get confused.
Fbmaj7 G/A G/A Dmaj7
I stumble through the dark, getting bumped and bruised,
Dmaj7 A#maj7
When the night gets in my way,
C
I could still hear my grandma say,
D/Fb Fb/F#
I can hear her say
D/Fb Fb/F#
I can hear her say
[Coda]
Dmaj7
You can't get to no better days,
F#m11 F# F# G# A Cb C# Fb F# Ddim7
Unless you make it through the night baby.
Dmaj7
Oh, you will see those better days,
F#m11 F# F# G# A Cb C# Fb F# Ddim7
But you gotta be patient child, do you hear me yeah, well, well, well well well.
Dmaj7
You can't get to no better days,
F#m11 F# F# G# A Cb C# Fb F# Ddim7
Unless you make it, you got to make it, you got to make it, you got to make it through the night yeah.
Dmaj7
Oh grandma, oh grandma,
F#m11 F# F# G# A Cb C# Fb F# Ddim7
Do you see me now lady oh oh oh...
Dmaj7
She used to sit me on her knee, she used to comb my hair.
F#m11
She used to tell me stories...(fade out)
