[Verse 1]
A#maj7 Ebmaj7 Abmaj7 Gm7 Fm7
Silver gray hair neatly combed in place.
Ebmaj7 C7/E D7 D/E D/F# Gm7
There were four generations of love on her face.
Fm7 Ebmaj7 Dm7 Dbdim7 Cm9
She was so wise, no surprise passed her eyes.
Abmaj7 Eb/F Ab6
She'd seen it all.
A#maj7 Ebmaj7 Abmaj7 Gm7 Fm7
I was a child, oh about three or four,
Ebmaj7 C7/E D7 D/E D/F# Gm7
All day I'd ask questions at night I'd ask more.
Fm7 Ebmaj7 Dm7 Dbdim7 Cm9
But whenever, she never, would ever,
Abmaj7 Eb/F Ebdim/F
Turn me away. No oh.
[Chorus 1]
Ab/A# Ab/A# Ebmaj7
I'd say how can I be sure what is right or wrong?
Ebmaj7 Gb/Ab Gb/Ab Dbmaj7
And why does what I want always take so long?
Dbmaj7 Amaj7
Please tell me where does God live
B Db/Eb Eb/F
And why won't He talk to me?
Ab/A#
I'd say, grandma what is love?
Ab/Eb Ebmaj7 Ebmaj7
Will I ever find out?
Gb/Ab Gb/Ab Dbmaj7
Why are we so poor, what is life about?
Dbmaj7 Amaj7 B Db/Eb Eb/F
I wanna know the answers before I fall off to sleep.
Db/Eb Eb/F
Oooh oh.
[Verse 2]
A#maj7 Ebmaj7 Abmaj7 Gm7 Gbm7 Fm7
She sort of smiled as she tucked me in,
Ebmaj7 C7/E D7 D/E D/F# Gm7
Then she pulled up that old rocking chair once a - gain.
Fm7 Ebmaj7 Dm7 Dbdim7 Cm9
But tonight she was slightly, remarkably,
AbM7 Eb/F Ab6
Different somehow.
A#maj7 Ebmaj7 Abmaj7 Gm7 Fm7
Slowly she rocked, looking half asleep,
Ebmaj7 C7/E D7 D/E D/F# Gm7
Grandma yawned as she streched then she star - ted to speak,
Fm7 Ebmaj7 Dm7 Dbdim7 Cm9
What she told me, would mould me, and holds me,
Abmaj7 Eb/F Ebdim7/F
Together inside.
[Chorus 2]
Ab/A# Ab/A# Ebmaj7
She said all the things you ask you will know someday,
Ebmaj7 Gb/Ab Gb/Ab Dbmaj7
But you have got to live in a patient way.
Dbmaj7 Amaj7
God put us here by fate
B Db/Eb Eb/F
And by fate that means better days.
Ab/A# Ab/A# Ebmaj7
She said, child we all moons in the dark of night,
Ebmaj7 Gb/Ab Gb/Ab Dbmaj7
Ain't no morning gonna come 'til the time is right.
Dbmaj7 Amaj7 B Db/Eb Eb/F
Can't get to better days lest you make it through the night.
Db/Eb Eb/F
You gotta make it through the night, yes you do.
[Bridge]
Dbmaj7
You can't get to no better days,
Fm11 F F G Ab A# C Eb F Ddim7
Unless you make it through the night.
Dbmaj7
Oh, you will see those better days
Cm7 Fm7 E/F# F#/E Db/Eb Eb/F Db/Eb Eb/F
Be pa - tient, be pa - tient, oh baby, be patient.
[Verse 3]
A#maj7 Ebmaj7 Abmaj7 Gm7 Gbm7 Fm7
Later that year, at the turn of spring,
Ebmaj7 C7/E D7 D/E D/F# Gm7
Heaven sent angels down and gave grandma her wings.
Fm7 Ebmaj7 Dm7 Dbdim7 Cm9
Now she's flying, and sliding, and gliding,
Abmaj7 Eb/F Ebdim7/F
In better days.
[Chorus 3]
Ab/A# Ab/A# Ebmaj7
And although I'm all grown up, I still get confused.
Ebmaj7 Gb/Ab Gb/Ab Dbmaj7
I stumble through the dark, getting bumped and bruised,
Dbmaj7 Amaj7
When the night gets in my way,
B
I could still hear my grandma say,
Db/Eb Eb/F
I can hear her say
Db/Eb Eb/F
I can hear her say
[Coda]
Dbmaj7
You can't get to no better days,
Fm11 F F G Ab A# C Eb F Ddim7
Unless you make it through the night baby.
Dbmaj7
Oh, you will see those better days,
Fm11 F F G Ab A# C Eb F Ddim7
But you gotta be patient child, do you hear me yeah, well, well, well well well.
Dbmaj7
You can't get to no better days,
Fm11 F F G Ab A# C Eb 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.
Dbmaj7
Oh grandma, oh grandma,
Fm11 F F G Ab A# C Eb F Ddim7
Do you see me now lady oh oh oh...
Dbmaj7
She used to sit me on her knee, she used to comb my hair.
Fm11
She used to tell me stories...(fade out)
