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.
