This song is an adaptation created for my grandmother (Hortencia Segura)
at her funeral so the original Freddy Fender song was used as a base to determine the strum pattern
C D E
Now your house is dark, and you are sleeping;
C D G
Now the time has come to part, no time for weeping
C Am7 G
Vaya con dios mi abuela,
D D7 G
Vaya con dios mi amor
C D G
If you listen with your heart you'll hear us singing,
C D E
Although you're many million dreams away
C D G
Each night I think, I think, I think about you
C D G
To hasten ev'ry hour of ev'ry day
Am D G
Now the dawn is breaking through a gray tomorrow,
Am D G
But the memories we share are there to borrow
C Am7 G
Vaya con dios mi abuela,
D D7 G
Vaya con dios mi amor
C D G
If you listen with your heart you'll hear us singing,
C D E
Although you're many million dreams away
C D G
Each night I think, I think, I think about you
C D G
To hasten ev'ry hour of ev'ry day
Am D G
Now the dawn is breaking through a gray tomorrow,
Am D G
But the memories we share are there to borrow
C Am7 G
Vaya con dios mi abuela,
D D7 G
Vaya con dios mi amor
