[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ I [A] remember [E] the time when my _ [A] granddad and I would [E] sit by the fire [C#m] at night

By the [E] glow of the [B] _ [C#m] kerosene light _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ He _ said Mom [B] and Dad sent me off [A] to school
Where [E] I learned how [B] to read and [C#m] to write
