LIOR - MY GRANDFATHER CHORDS

When I was born my grandfather held me in his warm hands And it seems though his eyes are teary , But it's hard to tell from an old photograph While my brother and sister danced at the feet of his tired and weathered frame He said there's a light to this boy I've rarely seen And there he gave me my name Well my grandfather was a sniper In the Red Army He never had any brothers in arms for on both sides stood enemies With a cold, unbroken will to survive His steady hand took aim And he drank just enough to keep himself warm For he never spoke his true name
