Iiird Tyme Out - Grandpas mandolin

Looking through old memories in my cedar ^Acloset stashed away ^E I found the old mandolin that ^B7Grandpa used to play I ^Epicked it up and held it close ^Athinking ’bout those years ago ^E And all the great ^B7music Grandpa ^Emade

Weathered worn but never frail with ^Acalloused hands he gently played ^E To bring an easy feeling to a ^B7hard working day And though ^Etimes were tough as they could be he ^Anever once complained to me ^E He’d just let the ^B7music soothe the the ^Epain

When ^C#mGrandpa played the ^Amando^Elin the ^B7family gathered ’^Eround ^A To sing the old time ^Esongs generations handed ^B7down I can ^Astill hear every ^G#msingle phrase from ^C#mevery song he ^Aplayed Wish I could ^F#msing a song with ^B7Grandpa to^Eday

I remember 1961 the ^Ayear Grandpa passed away ^E The family gathered ’round once more to ^B7sing Amazing Grace Now this ^Emandolin’s reminding me of ^Awhat my Grandpa taught to me ^E That music makes the ^B7world a better ^Eplace

When ^C#mGrandpa played the ^Amando^Elin the ^B7family gathered ’^Eround ^A To sing the old time ^Esongs generations handed ^B7down I can ^Astill hear every ^G#msingle phrase from ^C#mevery song he ^Aplayed Wish I could ^F#msing a song with ^B7Grandpa to^Eday
