[Verse 1]
Abmaj7 Dbmaj7 Gbmaj7 Fm7 D#m7
Silver gray hair neatly combed in place.
Dbmaj7 A#7/D C7 C/D C/E Fm7
There were four generations of love on her face.
D#m7 Dbmaj7 Cm7 Dbdim7 A#m9
She was so wise, no surprise passed her eyes.
Gbmaj7 Db/D# Gb6
She'd seen it all.
Abmaj7 Dbmaj7 Gbmaj7 Fm7 D#m7
I was a child, oh about three or four,
Dbmaj7 A#7/D C7 C/D C/E Fm7
All day I'd ask questions at night I'd ask more.
D#m7 Dbmaj7 Cm7 Dbdim7 A#m9
But whenever, she never, would ever,
Gbmaj7 Db/D# Ebdim/D#
Turn me away. No oh.
[Chorus 1]
Gb/Ab Gb/Ab Dbmaj7
I'd say how can I be sure what is right or wrong?
Dbmaj7 Fb/Gb Fb/Gb Cbmaj7
And why does what I want always take so long?
Cbmaj7 Gmaj7
Please tell me where does God live
A Cb/Db Db/D#
And why won't He talk to me?
Gb/Ab
I'd say, grandma what is love?
Gb/Db Dbmaj7 Dbmaj7
Will I ever find out?
Fb/Gb Fb/Gb Cbmaj7
Why are we so poor, what is life about?
Cbmaj7 Gmaj7 A Cb/Db Db/D#
I wanna know the answers before I fall off to sleep.
Cb/Db Db/D#
Oooh oh.
[Verse 2]
Abmaj7 Dbmaj7 Gbmaj7 Fm7 Fbm7 D#m7
She sort of smiled as she tucked me in,
Dbmaj7 A#7/D C7 C/D C/E Fm7
Then she pulled up that old rocking chair once a - gain.
D#m7 Dbmaj7 Cm7 Dbdim7 A#m9
But tonight she was slightly, remarkably,
GbM7 Db/D# Gb6
Different somehow.
Abmaj7 Dbmaj7 Gbmaj7 Fm7 D#m7
Slowly she rocked, looking half asleep,
Dbmaj7 A#7/D C7 C/D C/E Fm7
Grandma yawned as she streched then she star - ted to speak,
D#m7 Dbmaj7 Cm7 Dbdim7 A#m9
What she told me, would mould me, and holds me,
Gbmaj7 Db/D# Ebdim7/D#
Together inside.
[Chorus 2]
Gb/Ab Gb/Ab Dbmaj7
She said all the things you ask you will know someday,
Dbmaj7 Fb/Gb Fb/Gb Cbmaj7
But you have got to live in a patient way.
Cbmaj7 Gmaj7
God put us here by fate
A Cb/Db Db/D#
And by fate that means better days.
Gb/Ab Gb/Ab Dbmaj7
She said, child we all moons in the dark of night,
Dbmaj7 Fb/Gb Fb/Gb Cbmaj7
Ain't no morning gonna come 'til the time is right.
Cbmaj7 Gmaj7 A Cb/Db Db/D#
Can't get to better days lest you make it through the night.
Cb/Db Db/D#
You gotta make it through the night, yes you do.
[Bridge]
Cbmaj7
You can't get to no better days,
D#m11 D# D# F Gb Ab A# Db D# Ddim7
Unless you make it through the night.
Cbmaj7
Oh, you will see those better days
A#m7 D#m7 D/E E/D Cb/Db Db/D# Cb/Db Db/D#
Be pa - tient, be pa - tient, oh baby, be patient.
[Verse 3]
Abmaj7 Dbmaj7 Gbmaj7 Fm7 Fbm7 D#m7
Later that year, at the turn of spring,
Dbmaj7 A#7/D C7 C/D C/E Fm7
Heaven sent angels down and gave grandma her wings.
D#m7 Dbmaj7 Cm7 Dbdim7 A#m9
Now she's flying, and sliding, and gliding,
Gbmaj7 Db/D# Ebdim7/D#
In better days.
[Chorus 3]
Gb/Ab Gb/Ab Dbmaj7
And although I'm all grown up, I still get confused.
Dbmaj7 Fb/Gb Fb/Gb Cbmaj7
I stumble through the dark, getting bumped and bruised,
Cbmaj7 Gmaj7
When the night gets in my way,
A
I could still hear my grandma say,
Cb/Db Db/D#
I can hear her say
Cb/Db Db/D#
I can hear her say
[Coda]
Cbmaj7
You can't get to no better days,
D#m11 D# D# F Gb Ab A# Db D# Ddim7
Unless you make it through the night baby.
Cbmaj7
Oh, you will see those better days,
D#m11 D# D# F Gb Ab A# Db D# Ddim7
But you gotta be patient child, do you hear me yeah, well, well, well well well.
Cbmaj7
You can't get to no better days,
D#m11 D# D# F Gb Ab A# Db D# Ddim7
Unless you make it, you got to make it, you got to make it, you got to make it through the night yeah.
Cbmaj7
Oh grandma, oh grandma,
D#m11 D# D# F Gb Ab A# Db D# Ddim7
Do you see me now lady oh oh oh...
Cbmaj7
She used to sit me on her knee, she used to comb my hair.
D#m11
She used to tell me stories...(fade out)
