[Intro]
Em9 Gmaj9 G6 x2
[Verse]
Em9 G6
Strong as an ox, he was tough as a bull
Em9 G6
He had stories and poems and dirty jokes
Em9 G6
I came in running with my brother in tow
Cmaj9 G6
We had dirt on our knees, climbing on his feet to show him
Em9 Gmaj9 G6 x2
Em9 G6
He hardly spoke and he cheated at poker
Em9 G6
If someone got angry, he'd crack a joke
Em9 G6
Didn't always go over, but the kids would laugh
Cmaj9 G6
Then he'd play in the corner 'till he closed the gap
[Chorus]
D6sus G G/D D6sus
Oh Tommy I love that one
G G/D D6sus
You used to sing it when you were young
G G/D D6sus
Play it again, my love
G G/D D6sus
For the kids to remember when they grow up
Em9 Gmaj9 G6 x2
[Verse]
Em9 G6
I miss my grandfather, the way that wе were
Em9 G6
Singing out of time, causе he never finishes words
Em9 G6
A house full of instruments, now safely with his kids
Cmaj9 G6
And his music in my bones and in my body when I was built
[Chorus]
D6sus G G/D D6sus
Oh Tommy I love that one
G G/D D6sus
You used to sing it when you were young
G G/D D6sus
Play it again, my love
G G/D D6sus
For the kids to remember when they grow up
[Chorus]
D6sus G G/D D6sus
Oh Tommy I love that one
G G/D D6sus
You used to sing it when you were young
G G/D D6sus
Play it again, my love
G G/D D6sus
For the kids to remember us
