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
