           Am                         E
All in the tangles you're trying to untie by telling
        E                        Am
But you tie yourself up with the one who's told
          Am                       E
Grandma's hands are stiff, when I hold them they're freezing
E                     Am
  She's still refusing to get old

F                      C
  Her fingers hurt bad, can't close her handbag
E                             Am
  Can't do the buttons of her jumper up
F                       C
  Her body's gone wrong, but stubborn and strong
E                     Am
  She argues with the doctor

Am                  E
Call me the nurse I don't want a hearse
    E                  Am
The police are getting younger
    Am                              E
The stairs are getting longer, your voice is getting quieter
    E               Am
The wind is getting stronger

       Am                    E
She emigrated from Russia at nine months old
            E                           Am
She's still got all her teeth, some are filled with gold
         Am                    E
But they hurt her now when she drinks something cold
    E                             Am
She won't stand her false teeth a-rattling her gobhole

F                      C
  Her fingers hurt bad, can't close her handbag
E                             Am
  Can't do the buttons of her jumper up
F                       C
  Her body's gone wrong, but stubborn and strong
E                     Am
  She argues with the doctor

Am                  E
Call me the nurse I don't want a hearse
    E                  Am
The police are getting younger
    Am                              E
The stairs are getting longer, your voice is getting quieter
    E               Am
The wind is getting stronger

Am                      E
Grandma was raised near Stepney Green
        E                Am
Between Aldgate East and Petticoat Lane
    Am                                E
Her mother always made sure there was food to eat
         E                           Am
But as a girl she ran around without shoes on her feet

    F                  C
Her dad spoke Russian, not much English
   E                        Am
My Gran translated for him, Cockney to Yiddish
    F                         C
She mothered her brothers and daughtered her mother
          E                               Am
The blind fool tried to stop her daughter seeing my father

       F                  C
'Cause he was an atheist, he wasn't kosher
   E                       Am
My mum and dad eloped so they could get closer
       F                          C
But my great gran told my mum you love him that's enough
          E                              Am
'Cause my great gran was forced to wed a man she didn't love

        F                          C
Grandma said we didn't know it but times were very hard then
E                                 Am
  But then at least there was the dancing
E                               Am
  But then at least we could go dancing


{Vocal break}

          Am                 E
I was the oldest sister so I never had a childhood
E                      Am
  When I was six years old, she talks
         Am             E
I had to spoon feed and carry my brothers
E                      Am
  'Till they were old enough to walk

     Am                   E
As a girl she worked as a seamstress
       E                             Am
That's how her nine brothers and her sister were fed
    Am                      E
She has a little hole in her front tooth
         E                      Am
From the constant biting of the cotton and thread

F                      C
  Her fingers hurt bad, can't close her handbag
E                             Am
  Can't do the buttons of her jumper up
F                       C
  Her body's gone wrong, but stubborn and strong
E                     Am
  She argues with the doctor

Am                  E
Call me the nurse I don't want a hearse
    E                Am
The cops are getting younger
    Am                              E
The stairs are getting longer, your voice is getting quieter
    E               Am
The wind is getting stronger

             Am                      E
When she was seventy years I saw her throw a spinning top
    E                      Am
And catch it spinning on a piece of string
          Am                 E
She could touch her toes and shoot a netball
    E               Am
And spin around the ballroom dancing

F                     C
  Waltzes, Fandangos, Charlestons and Tangos
E                          Am
  She and my grandpa would foxtrot
F                     C                  E
  They won prizes but illness sacrifices youth
                   Am
So now they have both stopped

Am                  E
Call me the nurse I don't want a hearse
    E                Am
The cops are getting younger
    Am                              E
The stairs are getting longer, your voice is getting quieter
    E               Am
The wind is getting stronger

     Am                  E
Well call me the nurse I don't want a hearse
    E                  Am
The police are getting younger
    Am                              E
The stairs are getting longer, your voice is getting quieter
    E               Am
The wind is getting stronger

   E                Am
The wind is getting stronger
   E                Am
The wind is getting stronger
