[Verse]
E C#m A
Laying in my bed ceiling gazing
E C#m A
Wide awake with jet lag from Australia
E C#m A
Got a stack of mail and a wedding invitation
E C#m A
From a new, young relative, I’ve never even knew of
E C#m A
Got me thinking about my Grandpa for some reason
E C#m A
Met him half a dozen times in the nursing home
E C#m A
Last time I saw him he was in a box
E C#m A
And they were lowering him into the ground
B A
St. Mary’s Church stood so high
A C#m B
It was the first and the last time I saw my Dad cry
A C#m B
The ground had a thin coat of snow
B
And I wandered off in the cold
E C#m A
It’s three forty-seven A.M. , June 13th
E C#m A
It’s my sister’s birthday today, I think
E C#m A
Gonna give her a call, see how she’s doin'
E C#m A
She had a rough divorce, I hope she’s improvin'
E C#m A
I want to reach out and give her my love
E C#m A
Put a smile on her face like when we were young
E C#m A
Listening to records from the library
E C#m A
Hermit of Mink Hollow and Dreamboat Annie
