Adam Brand - Grandpa's Piano
CAPO: 4th fret
C majorC FF
Grandpa had a piano, it was built in 1904
C majorC G+G
he bought it down from Sydney town before the first world war
C majorC FF
He'd sit down and crack his knuckles, put his glasses on his head
C majorC G+G C majorC
when he'd start to play the cat would run and hide behind the bed
Chorus:
FF
Well, his right foot stomped the pedals
C majorC
and left foot stomped the floor
G+G C majorC
his wrinkled hands would skip the keys that wouldn't play no more
FF
he'd play Onward Christian Soldiers
C majorC FF
and the window panes would shake
C majorC G+G C majorC
when the man of 87 played his old 88
C majorC FF
The piano sat in the corner, on a sagging hardwood floor
C majorC G+G
on top was a frame I made for him, with a picture of the Lord
C majorC FF
a faded Baptist Hymnal took it's place above the keys
C majorC G+G C majorC
we'd take turns sitting by him, he'd nod to turn the page
Chorus:
D MajorD G+G
Well the old piano's silent now it don't ring for joy no more
D MajorD
except sometimes when the cat jumps down
A augmentedA
when there's someone at the door
D MajorD G+G
I can see him up in heaven, with a smile upon his face
D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD
when God and all the Angels, let him lead amazing grace.
Chorus:
G+G
Well his right foot stomped the pedals
D MajorD
and left foot stomped the floor
A augmentedA D MajorD
his wrinkled hands would skip the keys that wouldn't play no more
G+G
he'd play Onward Christian Soldiers
D MajorD G+G
and the window panes would shake
D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD
when the man of 87 played his old 88
G+G D MajorD A augmentedA G+G D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD
