ADAM BRAND - Grandpas Piano guitar chord

GRANDPAS PIANO

Adam Brand

E A

Grandpa had a piano, it was built in 1904

E B

he bought it down from Sydney town before the first world war

E A

He'd sit down and crack his knuckles, put his glasses on his head

E B E

when he'd start to play the cat would run and hide behind the bed

chorus

A

Well his right foot stomped the peddals

E

and left foot stomped the floor

B E

his wrinkled hands would skip the keys that wouldn't play no more

A

he'd play Onward Christian Soldiers

E A

and the window panes would shake

E B E

when the man of 87 played his old 88

E A

The piano sat in the corner, on a sagging hardwood floor

E B

on top was a frame I made for him, with a picture of the Lord

E A

a faded Baptist Hymnal took it's place above the keys

E B E

we'd take turns sitting by him, he'd nod to turn the page

chorus

F# B

Well the old piano's silent now it don't ring for joy no more

F#

except sometimes when the cat jumps down

C#

when there's someone at the door

F# B

I can see him up in heaven, with a smile upon his face

F# C# F#

when God and all the Angels, let him lead amazing grace.

B

Well his right foot stomped the peddals

F#

and left foot stomped the floor

C# F#

his wrinkled hands would skip the keys that wouldn't play no more

B

he'd play Onward Christian Soldiers

F# B

and the window panes would shake

F# C# F#

when the man of 87 played his old 88

B F# C# B F# C#,F#

when the man of 87 played his old eighty eight.
