[Verse 1]
Fmaj7 A#maj7 Ebmaj7 Dm7 Cm7
Silver gray hair neatly combed in place.
A#maj7 G7/B A7 A/B A/C# Dm7
There were four generations of love on her face.
Cm7 A#maj7 Am7 Dbdim7 Gm9
She was so wise, no surprise passed her eyes.
Ebmaj7 A#/C Eb6
She'd seen it all.
Fmaj7 A#maj7 Ebmaj7 Dm7 Cm7
I was a child, oh about three or four,
A#maj7 G7/B A7 A/B A/C# Dm7
All day I'd ask questions at night I'd ask more.
Cm7 A#maj7 Am7 Dbdim7 Gm9
But whenever, she never, would ever,
Ebmaj7 A#/C Ebdim/C
Turn me away. No oh.
[Chorus 1]
Eb/F Eb/F A#maj7
I'd say how can I be sure what is right or wrong?
A#maj7 Db/Eb Db/Eb Abmaj7
And why does what I want always take so long?
Abmaj7 Emaj7
Please tell me where does God live
F# Ab/A# A#/C
And why won't He talk to me?
Eb/F
I'd say, grandma what is love?
Eb/A# A#maj7 A#maj7
Will I ever find out?
Db/Eb Db/Eb Abmaj7
Why are we so poor, what is life about?
Abmaj7 Emaj7 F# Ab/A# A#/C
I wanna know the answers before I fall off to sleep.
Ab/A# A#/C
Oooh oh.
[Verse 2]
Fmaj7 A#maj7 Ebmaj7 Dm7 Dbm7 Cm7
She sort of smiled as she tucked me in,
A#maj7 G7/B A7 A/B A/C# Dm7
Then she pulled up that old rocking chair once a - gain.
Cm7 A#maj7 Am7 Dbdim7 Gm9
But tonight she was slightly, remarkably,
EbM7 A#/C Eb6
Different somehow.
Fmaj7 A#maj7 Ebmaj7 Dm7 Cm7
Slowly she rocked, looking half asleep,
A#maj7 G7/B A7 A/B A/C# Dm7
Grandma yawned as she streched then she star - ted to speak,
Cm7 A#maj7 Am7 Dbdim7 Gm9
What she told me, would mould me, and holds me,
Ebmaj7 A#/C Ebdim7/C
Together inside.
[Chorus 2]
Eb/F Eb/F A#maj7
She said all the things you ask you will know someday,
A#maj7 Db/Eb Db/Eb Abmaj7
But you have got to live in a patient way.
Abmaj7 Emaj7
God put us here by fate
F# Ab/A# A#/C
And by fate that means better days.
Eb/F Eb/F A#maj7
She said, child we all moons in the dark of night,
A#maj7 Db/Eb Db/Eb Abmaj7
Ain't no morning gonna come 'til the time is right.
Abmaj7 Emaj7 F# Ab/A# A#/C
Can't get to better days lest you make it through the night.
Ab/A# A#/C
You gotta make it through the night, yes you do.
[Bridge]
Abmaj7
You can't get to no better days,
Cm11 C C D Eb F G A# C Ddim7
Unless you make it through the night.
Abmaj7
Oh, you will see those better days
Gm7 Cm7 B/C# C#/B Ab/A# A#/C Ab/A# A#/C
Be pa - tient, be pa - tient, oh baby, be patient.
[Verse 3]
Fmaj7 A#maj7 Ebmaj7 Dm7 Dbm7 Cm7
Later that year, at the turn of spring,
A#maj7 G7/B A7 A/B A/C# Dm7
Heaven sent angels down and gave grandma her wings.
Cm7 A#maj7 Am7 Dbdim7 Gm9
Now she's flying, and sliding, and gliding,
Ebmaj7 A#/C Ebdim7/C
In better days.
[Chorus 3]
Eb/F Eb/F A#maj7
And although I'm all grown up, I still get confused.
A#maj7 Db/Eb Db/Eb Abmaj7
I stumble through the dark, getting bumped and bruised,
Abmaj7 Emaj7
When the night gets in my way,
F#
I could still hear my grandma say,
Ab/A# A#/C
I can hear her say
Ab/A# A#/C
I can hear her say
[Coda]
Abmaj7
You can't get to no better days,
Cm11 C C D Eb F G A# C Ddim7
Unless you make it through the night baby.
Abmaj7
Oh, you will see those better days,
Cm11 C C D Eb F G A# C Ddim7
But you gotta be patient child, do you hear me yeah, well, well, well well well.
Abmaj7
You can't get to no better days,
Cm11 C C D Eb F G A# C Ddim7
Unless you make it, you got to make it, you got to make it, you got to make it through the night yeah.
Abmaj7
Oh grandma, oh grandma,
Cm11 C C D Eb F G A# C Ddim7
Do you see me now lady oh oh oh...
Abmaj7
She used to sit me on her knee, she used to comb my hair.
Cm11
She used to tell me stories...(fade out)
