Who's Gonna Know?

• G

Kathy Mattea on "Walking Away A Winner" 
 
Capo 3 
 
Intro:   G     C     G      C     
       G                      C   
On the top of my desk mid the clutter and dust 
        G                 C 
sits an old 5x8 black and white 
     G                  C 
It's one of my favorite pictures of us 
     C                    D 
I'll carry with me all my life 
Am7                D            G 
I must have been a-bout five or six 
      Am                       C               G 
Mom's hair was still brown and Dad's was still thick 
       C          Em       C           G 
But to look at it now some-times I get scared 
   C               Em       C            D 
To think that some-day they might not be there 
 
       C           D        G 
'Cause who's gonna know but me 
       C         D          G           C 
Who'll help me recall those small mem-o-ries 
Am             D            G         C 
I'm all that's left of this family of three 
Am          D        G        C 
Who's gonna know but me? 
 
G                 C 
Down in the cellar under the steps 
        G                         C 
Sits an old box of junk that I've saved 
G                    C 
Newspaper clippings, letters and cards 
C                      D 
Even some code-a-phone tapes 
Am7                  D          G 
Slices of life I can hold in my hand 
    Am                      C           G 
And show to my kids so they might under-stand 
    C             Em             C           G 
In those years to come when they ask me some night 
     C           Em      C          D 
What Grandma and Grandpa used to be like 
 
       C           D        G 
'Cause who's gonna know but me 
       C         D          G           C 
Who'll help me recall those small mem-o-ries 
Am             D            G         C 
I'm all that's left of this family of three 
Am          D        G 
Who's gonna know but me? 
 
   Bm                C 
If life were a video I could rewind 
    Bm                         C 
I'd go back and slow down each moment in time 
     Bm                  C            G 
Then I'd disconnect the fast forward button 
   C            G       C          D 
So I'd have for-ever to tell 'em I love 'em 
    C       G            C          D 
The older I get, I can't get enough of 'em 
 
       C           D        G 
'Cause who's gonna know but me 
       C         D        G           C 
Who'll help me recall all those mem-o-ries 
Am             D            G         C 
I'm all that's left of this family of three 
Am          D        G 
Who's gonna know but me? 
C           D        G 
Who's gonna know but me?
