[C] [G]
[D] [G]
Now I courted your old grandma [C] along the [G] canal walk
[A] And I told her she's the fairest [D] of them all
[G] And I told her that I loved her [C] and I wanted [G] her for mine
[C] And I wrote it [D] all along the [G] gasworks wall
[C] [G]
[D] [G]
Now she gave me six fine sons [C] and your father he [G] was one
[A] And she kept the old together [D] and her [E] favourite she had none
[G] But the war it cut me foully down [C] to more than [G] half its size
And I saw your [D] grandma aging right [G] before me very eyes
She was bonny, she was fair [C] and we made a [G] lovely pair
[C] I'd give half the [D] world to see her [G] in the old rocking chair
Now [C] [D] [G]
an angel called on us one night [C] and took [G] your gran away
[A] But it just had time to comb and plait [D] her hair
[G] And though lonely times did face me [C] and it [G] nearly broke me heart
Nobody else [D] could fill that rocking chair
She was bonny, she was fair and [C] we made a [G] lovely pair
I'd [C] give half the world [D] to see her in [G] the old rocking chair
Now [C] [D] [G]
when I climb the stairs at night [C] by flicker of [G] candlelight
[A] And I look upon me shadow [D] on the wall
[G] I can remember [C] when that shadow [G] once was two
[C] And beside me stood [D] the fairest [G] of them all
Now when I lay me down to [C] sleep I pine for my [G] sweet lass
[A] And I wish that times were like they [D] used to be
[G] And I hope your grandma hears me [C] voice and tells the [G] Lord above
[C] To send an [D] angel down to [G] call on me
She was bonny, she was fair [C] and we made a [G] lovely pair
[C] I'd give half the [D] world to see her [G] in the old rocking chair
She was bonny, she was fair [C] and we made a [G] lovely pair
[C] I'd give half the [D] world to see her [G] in the old rocking chair
She was bonny, she was fair [C] and we made a [G] lovely pair
[C] I'd give half the [D] world to see her [G] in the old rocking chair
She was bonny, she was fair [C] and we made a [G] lovely pair
[C] I'd give half the [D] world to see her [G] in the old rocking chair
