INTRO: C G D G G

C G C G C G

For as long as I remember When Friday night came round The family would gather

G D Am G G F C

out at grandpa's house With supper over and the dishes done Then the best time came

C G D7 G

At an old upright piano that only grandma played

C G C G C G

CHORUS: She played beautiful dreamer my wild irish rose never played them perfect

G D C G G F C

but there was love in every note and grandpa sat beside her in harmony they sang

C G D G

at the old upright piano that only grandma played

Em G Em G C G

Grandpa was a stubborn man They said it was his style grandma called him onrery

G D Am G G F C

But she said it with a smile Even he could not desguise the love he felt so strong

C G D G

We all could see it In his eyes When she played his favorite song

REPEAT CHORUS:

Em G Em G C G

I was almost seventeen When my grandma died I stayed all night with grandpa

G D Am G G F C

The old man never cried We sat at her piano There was nothing we could say

C G D7 G

It was the first time in my life I ever heard my grandpa play

C G C G C G

It wasn't beautiful dreamer my wild irish rose it was a song he played from memory

G D C G G F C

and he never missed a note I sat right there beside him until the morning came

C G D G

what a friend we have in Jesus was the only song he played

REPEAT CHORUS:

C G D G

at the old upright piano that only grandma played

I DON'T THINK IT'S PERFECT BUT IT SOUNDS REALLY CLOSE WHEN YOU PLAY ALONG WITH RECORDING.
