Verse 1
(G major) I went up to my attic
to put away your letters
In a grey metal box with two broken locks
Next to an old birdcage
When I (Gsus4) went to put your letters inside
(G major) I (Gsus4) found another packet,
(G major) covered (Gsus4) with dust
and smelling of must
that came from another age. (G major) (A major) (D major) (A major) (D major)
My (A major) grandmother's love (B minor) letters
held (D major) in her (E major) trembling hand
when she was (Asus4) seventeen.
They were (G major) a world (B minor) to her,
they were her youth,
they made her whis (D major) per low, (E major)
sev (Asus4) enty -seven years ago. (G major) (D major)
My (A major) grandmother's love (B minor) letters,
(D major) so firmly in her (E major) grasp,
she'd read one line (Asus4) and gasp,
that (G major) means she breathed (B minor) the
air of long ago. (D major) (E major)
(Asus4) I loved her so. (D major)
Some thing (G minor) s you'll never know,
what makes the tide come in
and the (D major) little flower grow.
(B minor) Oh, Father, time (Esus4) de (E major) cides
when he'll (Asus4) come for one of us. (D major)
Some things you (G minor) never know,
what makes the eagle fly
(Asus4) and the (D major) southern wind blow. (F sharp minor) (D major)
(B minor) These things, they come, (D major) they go,
(E major) like (Asus4) portents, omens, (G major) (E major) dreams.
(Asus4) things you never know. (D major) (A major) (D major)
My (A major) grandmother's love (B minor) letters
(D major) when she was (E major) seventeen
think what they (Asus4) had to mean.
They were a world (B minor) tour.
They were youth.
She tied them (D major) with a bow. (E major) (Asus4) (G major)
(D major) My (A major) grandmother's love (B minor) letters,
(D major) so firmly in her (E major) grasp,
she'd read each (Asus4) line and gasp.
And (G major) I'm the (B minor) air she breathed
so long (D major) ago. (E major) (Asus4)
(D major) Some things you'll (G minor) never know,
what makes the tide come in
and the (D major) little flower grow.
(F sharp minor) How (B minor) far their time decides
(E major) when he'll (Asus4) come for one of us.
(D major) Some thing (G minor) s you never (Edim) know.
(G minor) What makes the eagle fly
and the (D major) southern wind blow. (F sharp minor)
(B minor) These things, they come, (D major) they go.
(E major) Like (Asus4) portents, (G major) omens, dream (B minor) (D major) s,
(E major) (Asus4) (G major) (Asus4) you'll (D major) never know. (B minor)
(D major) (E major) (Asus4) (G major) (B minor) (D major) (Asus4) (A major) (E major)
77 (Asus4) years (D major) (G major) ago. you
my grandmothers love letters
