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