Verse 1:
C G/B am am/G F G C
I read a note my grandma wrote back in nineteen twenty-three
C G/B am am/G dm G
Grandpa kept it in his coat, and he showed it once to me.
C G/B am am/G F G C
He said, Boy, you might not understand, but a long long time ago.
C G/B am F G G/B C*
Grandma's daddy didn't like me none, but I loved your Grandma so.
Verse 2:
C G/B am am/G F G C
We had this crazy plan to meet, and run away together.
C G/B am am/G dm G
Get married in the first town we came to and live forever.
C G/B am am/G F G C
But nailed to the tree where we were supposed to meet instead.
C G/B am F G C*
I found this letter, and this is what it said.
Chorus:
F G C
If you get there before I do.
F G C
Don't give up on me.
F G am
I'll meet you when my chores are through
dm G
I don't know how long I'll be.
F G C
But I'm not gonna let you down
F G am
Darlin wait and see
F G em am
Cause between now and then, till I see you again
dm G
I'll be lovin you
Intro
Love, Me.
I read these words just hours before, my grandma passed away.
In the doorway of a church where me and grandpa stopped to pray.
I know I'd never seen him cry, in all my fifteen years,
But as he said these words to her, his eyes filled up with tears.
Chorus
Cause between now and then
Till I see you again
I'll be lovin you,
Love, Me
Intro.
That's it. You'll want to listen to the tape for a couple of little
fills that he (his band?) does, especially on the C chords.
