[Verse 1]
Ebmaj7 Abmaj7 Dbmaj7 Cm7 A#m7
Silver gray hair neatly combed in place.
Abmaj7 F7/A G7 G/A G/B Cm7
There were four generations of love on her face.
A#m7 Abmaj7 Gm7 Dbdim7 Fm9
She was so wise, no surprise passed her eyes.
Dbmaj7 Ab/A# Db6
She'd seen it all.
Ebmaj7 Abmaj7 Dbmaj7 Cm7 A#m7
I was a child, oh about three or four,
Abmaj7 F7/A G7 G/A G/B Cm7
All day I'd ask questions at night I'd ask more.
A#m7 Abmaj7 Gm7 Dbdim7 Fm9
But whenever, she never, would ever,
Dbmaj7 Ab/A# Ebdim/A#
Turn me away. No oh.
[Chorus 1]
Db/Eb Db/Eb Abmaj7
I'd say how can I be sure what is right or wrong?
Abmaj7 Cb/Db Cb/Db Gbmaj7
And why does what I want always take so long?
Gbmaj7 Dmaj7
Please tell me where does God live
E Gb/Ab Ab/A#
And why won't He talk to me?
Db/Eb
I'd say, grandma what is love?
Db/Ab Abmaj7 Abmaj7
Will I ever find out?
Cb/Db Cb/Db Gbmaj7
Why are we so poor, what is life about?
Gbmaj7 Dmaj7 E Gb/Ab Ab/A#
I wanna know the answers before I fall off to sleep.
Gb/Ab Ab/A#
Oooh oh.
[Verse 2]
Ebmaj7 Abmaj7 Dbmaj7 Cm7 Cbm7 A#m7
She sort of smiled as she tucked me in,
Abmaj7 F7/A G7 G/A G/B Cm7
Then she pulled up that old rocking chair once a - gain.
A#m7 Abmaj7 Gm7 Dbdim7 Fm9
But tonight she was slightly, remarkably,
DbM7 Ab/A# Db6
Different somehow.
Ebmaj7 Abmaj7 Dbmaj7 Cm7 A#m7
Slowly she rocked, looking half asleep,
Abmaj7 F7/A G7 G/A G/B Cm7
Grandma yawned as she streched then she star - ted to speak,
A#m7 Abmaj7 Gm7 Dbdim7 Fm9
What she told me, would mould me, and holds me,
Dbmaj7 Ab/A# Ebdim7/A#
Together inside.
[Chorus 2]
Db/Eb Db/Eb Abmaj7
She said all the things you ask you will know someday,
Abmaj7 Cb/Db Cb/Db Gbmaj7
But you have got to live in a patient way.
Gbmaj7 Dmaj7
God put us here by fate
E Gb/Ab Ab/A#
And by fate that means better days.
Db/Eb Db/Eb Abmaj7
She said, child we all moons in the dark of night,
Abmaj7 Cb/Db Cb/Db Gbmaj7
Ain't no morning gonna come 'til the time is right.
Gbmaj7 Dmaj7 E Gb/Ab Ab/A#
Can't get to better days lest you make it through the night.
Gb/Ab Ab/A#
You gotta make it through the night, yes you do.
[Bridge]
Gbmaj7
You can't get to no better days,
A#m11 A# A# C Db Eb F Ab A# Ddim7
Unless you make it through the night.
Gbmaj7
Oh, you will see those better days
Fm7 A#m7 A/B B/A Gb/Ab Ab/A# Gb/Ab Ab/A#
Be pa - tient, be pa - tient, oh baby, be patient.
[Verse 3]
Ebmaj7 Abmaj7 Dbmaj7 Cm7 Cbm7 A#m7
Later that year, at the turn of spring,
Abmaj7 F7/A G7 G/A G/B Cm7
Heaven sent angels down and gave grandma her wings.
A#m7 Abmaj7 Gm7 Dbdim7 Fm9
Now she's flying, and sliding, and gliding,
Dbmaj7 Ab/A# Ebdim7/A#
In better days.
[Chorus 3]
Db/Eb Db/Eb Abmaj7
And although I'm all grown up, I still get confused.
Abmaj7 Cb/Db Cb/Db Gbmaj7
I stumble through the dark, getting bumped and bruised,
Gbmaj7 Dmaj7
When the night gets in my way,
E
I could still hear my grandma say,
Gb/Ab Ab/A#
I can hear her say
Gb/Ab Ab/A#
I can hear her say
[Coda]
Gbmaj7
You can't get to no better days,
A#m11 A# A# C Db Eb F Ab A# Ddim7
Unless you make it through the night baby.
Gbmaj7
Oh, you will see those better days,
A#m11 A# A# C Db Eb F Ab A# Ddim7
But you gotta be patient child, do you hear me yeah, well, well, well well well.
Gbmaj7
You can't get to no better days,
A#m11 A# A# C Db Eb F Ab A# Ddim7
Unless you make it, you got to make it, you got to make it, you got to make it through the night yeah.
Gbmaj7
Oh grandma, oh grandma,
A#m11 A# A# C Db Eb F Ab A# Ddim7
Do you see me now lady oh oh oh...
Gbmaj7
She used to sit me on her knee, she used to comb my hair.
A#m11
She used to tell me stories...(fade out)
