[C] [B] [G] [Am] [C]
[Dm] [G] [C] [F] [C]
I read [G] a [Am] note my grandma wrote [F] back in [G] [C] 1923
Grandpa [G] kept [Am] it in his coat [Dm] and he showed it once [C] to [G] me
[C] He said, boy, [G] you might [Am] not understand, [F] but a long, [G] long [C] time ago
[G] Grandma's [Am] daddy didn't like [F] me none, [G] but I loved your grandma [C] so
[F] [C] We [G] had this crazy [Am] plan to meet [F] and [G] run away [C] together
Get married [G] in [Am] the first [Dm] town we came to and live [G] forever
[C] But [G] nailed to [Am] the tree where we [F] were supposed [G] to meet [C] instead
[F] I [C] [G] found [Am] this letter [F]
[G] and this is what [C] it [F] [C] said
[F] If you get [G] there before [C] I do,
[F] [G] don't give up [C] on me
[F] I'll meet you [G] when my chores [Am] are through,
[Dm] I don't [F] know how long [C] I'll [G] be
[Dm] But I'm not [G] gonna let you [C] down,
[F] [G] darling, wait [Am] and see
[F] And between now [G] and then, [E] till I see you [Am] again, [F] I'll be loving you
[G]
[C] [G] Love me
[Am] I [C]
[Dm] [G] [C] [F] [C]
[G] read those words [Am] just hours before [F] my [G] grandma passed [C] away
In the doorway [G] of [Am] a church where me [Dm] and grandpa stopped [C] to pray
[G] I [C] [G] know I'd never [Am] seen him cry [F] in all [G] my fifteen [C] years
But as he [G] said [Am] these [F] words to her, [G] his eyes filled up [C] with [F] [C] tears
[F] If you get [G] there before [C] I do,
[F] don't [G] give up on [C] me
[F] I'll meet you when [G] my chores are [Am] through, [Dm] I don't know [F] how long I'll [C] be
[G]
But [Dm] I'm not [G] gonna let you [C] down, [F] darling, [G] wait [Am] and see
And [F] between [G] now and then, till [E] I see [Am] you again, I'll [F] be loving [G] you
[C] Love me
Between
[F] [G] now and then, till [E] I see [Am] you again, I'll [F] be loving you
[G] Love me
