Silver gray [Dbm] hair, neat [Cm] big golden face.
_ [Ab]
There were four dinner [F] parties.
[Eb] She was [Dm] so wise, no [Fm]
surprise.
[Eb] Past her [Ebm] eyes, she [Fm] sees it all.
[B] Please [A] tell me [B] where does God live and I [Bbm] will leave after [Eb] me.
[Ab] I'd say, Grandma, [Eb] what is love and I'll never [Gb] find out.
[Db] My, the way so poor would I find [A] out.
I want to [B] know the answers [Abm] before I fall [Eb] off to sleep.
[Bbm] Oh, _ [Eb] _ _ [Dm] _ [Bb] slowly she rocked, [Cm]
looking [Gm] at [Fm] the sleep.
[Eb] Grandma yonder [Gm] she stretched in, [D] she [Gm] started to [Ab] speak.
[Eb] What she told [Bb] me would mold [Bbm] me and [Cm] hold me together [Ab] _ inside.
[Cm] _ [Eb] Yeah, yeah, [Dm] yeah, yeah.
[Fm] He said, all [Cm] the things you ask you will know [Ebm] someday.
But you [Fm] have got to live in a [E] patient way.
God put [A] us here by faith [B] and by faith there'd be [Ab] better [Cm] [Fm] days.
She said, shall [Eb] we all walk [Gb] tonight in a morning [Fm] _ [E] light?
That's right, can't get to [B] better days unless you make [Db] it through.
Ah, [Eb] you [Bbm] gotta make it through [Eb] it, yes you do.
[Ab] You can't get to [Eb] more _ [Ab]
days [Eb] unless you make [Fm] it _ [Fm] _ _
through.
[Eb] All the love [Ab] feels [Eb] _ [Ab] better days, but [Cm] you gotta be _ [Fm] patient, [E] be [Gb] patient.
_ [Db] Oh, [Cm] baby, be [Ab] patient.
_ [Eb] _
_ [F] Later [Eb] that year at the turn [Bb] of [Fm] spring, [Eb] heaven sent [Gm] angels down [G] and [Gb] gave Grandma [Gm]
[Eb] wings.
[Gm] Now she's flying [Bb] and sliding [Dbm] and _ [Cm] _
gliding in _ [Ab] _ paradise.
[Bb] _ [Eb] _
_ [D] _ [Ab] And though I'm a grown [Cm] up, I still get [Ebm] confused.
I stumble through the [Fm] dark, getting lump and [A] groove.
And life is in my [B] grip, I can [Gb] still hear my Grandma [Db] say.
[Cm] I can hear her say, _ [Db] _ [Eb] [Ab] I can hear her [Eb] say, yeah, [Ab] that you can't get [Eb] to no _ [Ab] better days [Eb] unless you [Fm] make it through the night, baby.
_ Oh, [Eb] we [Ab] will see [Eb] better _ [Ab] days, [F] but you gotta be patient, [Fm] child, do you hear me, yeah?
Well, well, [Eb] well, well. _
