[Verse 1]
Amaj7 Dmaj7 Gmaj7 F#m7 Em7
Silver gray hair neatly combed in place.
Dmaj7 B7/D# C#7 C#/D# C#/F F#m7
There were four generations of love on her face.
Em7 Dmaj7 C#m7 Dbdim7 Bm9
She was so wise, no surprise passed her eyes.
Gmaj7 D/E G6
She'd seen it all.
Amaj7 Dmaj7 Gmaj7 F#m7 Em7
I was a child, oh about three or four,
Dmaj7 B7/D# C#7 C#/D# C#/F F#m7
All day I'd ask questions at night I'd ask more.
Em7 Dmaj7 C#m7 Dbdim7 Bm9
But whenever, she never, would ever,
Gmaj7 D/E Ebdim/E
Turn me away. No oh.
[Chorus 1]
G/A G/A Dmaj7
I'd say how can I be sure what is right or wrong?
Dmaj7 F/G F/G Cmaj7
And why does what I want always take so long?
Cmaj7 G#maj7
Please tell me where does God live
A# C/D D/E
And why won't He talk to me?
G/A
I'd say, grandma what is love?
G/D Dmaj7 Dmaj7
Will I ever find out?
F/G F/G Cmaj7
Why are we so poor, what is life about?
Cmaj7 G#maj7 A# C/D D/E
I wanna know the answers before I fall off to sleep.
C/D D/E
Oooh oh.
[Verse 2]
Amaj7 Dmaj7 Gmaj7 F#m7 Fm7 Em7
She sort of smiled as she tucked me in,
Dmaj7 B7/D# C#7 C#/D# C#/F F#m7
Then she pulled up that old rocking chair once a - gain.
Em7 Dmaj7 C#m7 Dbdim7 Bm9
But tonight she was slightly, remarkably,
GM7 D/E G6
Different somehow.
Amaj7 Dmaj7 Gmaj7 F#m7 Em7
Slowly she rocked, looking half asleep,
Dmaj7 B7/D# C#7 C#/D# C#/F F#m7
Grandma yawned as she streched then she star - ted to speak,
Em7 Dmaj7 C#m7 Dbdim7 Bm9
What she told me, would mould me, and holds me,
Gmaj7 D/E Ebdim7/E
Together inside.
[Chorus 2]
G/A G/A Dmaj7
She said all the things you ask you will know someday,
Dmaj7 F/G F/G Cmaj7
But you have got to live in a patient way.
Cmaj7 G#maj7
God put us here by fate
A# C/D D/E
And by fate that means better days.
G/A G/A Dmaj7
She said, child we all moons in the dark of night,
Dmaj7 F/G F/G Cmaj7
Ain't no morning gonna come 'til the time is right.
Cmaj7 G#maj7 A# C/D D/E
Can't get to better days lest you make it through the night.
C/D D/E
You gotta make it through the night, yes you do.
[Bridge]
Cmaj7
You can't get to no better days,
Em11 E E F# G A B D E Ddim7
Unless you make it through the night.
Cmaj7
Oh, you will see those better days
Bm7 Em7 D#/F F/D# C/D D/E C/D D/E
Be pa - tient, be pa - tient, oh baby, be patient.
[Verse 3]
Amaj7 Dmaj7 Gmaj7 F#m7 Fm7 Em7
Later that year, at the turn of spring,
Dmaj7 B7/D# C#7 C#/D# C#/F F#m7
Heaven sent angels down and gave grandma her wings.
Em7 Dmaj7 C#m7 Dbdim7 Bm9
Now she's flying, and sliding, and gliding,
Gmaj7 D/E Ebdim7/E
In better days.
[Chorus 3]
G/A G/A Dmaj7
And although I'm all grown up, I still get confused.
Dmaj7 F/G F/G Cmaj7
I stumble through the dark, getting bumped and bruised,
Cmaj7 G#maj7
When the night gets in my way,
A#
I could still hear my grandma say,
C/D D/E
I can hear her say
C/D D/E
I can hear her say
[Coda]
Cmaj7
You can't get to no better days,
Em11 E E F# G A B D E Ddim7
Unless you make it through the night baby.
Cmaj7
Oh, you will see those better days,
Em11 E E F# G A B D E Ddim7
But you gotta be patient child, do you hear me yeah, well, well, well well well.
Cmaj7
You can't get to no better days,
Em11 E E F# G A B D E Ddim7
Unless you make it, you got to make it, you got to make it, you got to make it through the night yeah.
Cmaj7
Oh grandma, oh grandma,
Em11 E E F# G A B D E Ddim7
Do you see me now lady oh oh oh...
Cmaj7
She used to sit me on her knee, she used to comb my hair.
Em11
She used to tell me stories...(fade out)
