VERSE 1: 
 
G                                   C 
A hundred year old photograph stares out from a frame 
G                                           D 
And if you look real close you'll see, our eyes are just the same 
G                                   C                 Am 
I never met them face to face but I still know them well 
G                        D              G 
From the stories my dear grandmama   tells 
 
VERSE 2: 
G                              C 
Elijah was a farmer he knew how to make things grow 
    G                                  D 
And Fanny vowed she'd follow him where ever he would go 
   G                                        C               Am 
As things turned out they never left their small Kentucky farm 
       Bm   Am  C       D            G 
But he kept her fed and she kept him warm 

G           D        C         G                D 
They're my guardian angels and I know they can see 
G     D      Em         C               D 
Every step I take they are watching over me 
            G              D             Bm                C 
I might not know where I'm going but I'm sure where I come from 
           G        C     Am     D                 G 
They're my guardian angels,  and I'm their special one 
 
VERSE 3: 
 
G                               C 
Sometimes when I'm tired I feel Elijah take my arm 
        G                                    D 
He says, "People doing hard work never did a body harm" 
G                                        C            Am 
And when I'm really troubled and I don't know what to do 
      Bm      Am              C           D              G 
Fanny whispers, "Just do your best, we're awful proud of you" 
 
CHORUS: 
 
G           D        C         G                D 
They're my guardian angels and I know they can see 
G     D      Em         C               D 
Every step I take they are watching over me 
            G              D             Bm                C 
I might not know where I'm going but I'm sure where I come from 
           G        C     Am     D                 G 
They're my guardian angels,  and I'm their special one

And if you look real close you'll see our eyes are just the same
