        D  
I was a little boy and I took it hard when Grandpa had to leave 
             G                                                    
Grandma said listen up son I've someone I'd like for you to meet 
        A 
And she pulled to the edge of the road by the river side and  
                           D    A 
cranked an a 8 track radio 

             
  D 
A man come on singin' everything gonna be alright 
    G                                                         
And in that August sun she smiled and tears welled in her eyes 
    A                                                       D             
She said sometimes its gonna rain even if you don't want it to,  
             A

D 
Ooo Ooo Oooo 
             G   
Sitting on a riverbank 
D 
Ooo Ooo Ooo 
         A 
Her arm around me 
D 
Ooo Ooo Ooo 
       A         Bm/A  G                   A  D    D  A D 
We sang quietly        Grandma, me and Bob Marley 


        D 
So baby when that sun ain't shining, you can call on me 
              G                                                        
I'll take you miles along a winding road to places that you've been  
      A                                                            D 
Where you can find your strength again and in the morning you will rise, 
                A 
you're gonna be alright 


D 
Ooo Ooo Oooo 
             G   
Sitting on a riverbank 
D 
Ooo Ooo Ooo 
         A 
Her arm around me 
D 
Ooo Ooo Ooo 
        A        Bm/A  G                  A  D 
We sang quietly        you and me and Bob Marley
