INTRO: C  G  D  G  G   
C                G               C                 G           C            G 
For as long as I remember   When Friday night came round   The family would gather 
G                 D           Am                   G             G        F         C 
out at grandpa's house   With supper over and the dishes done   Then the best time came 
      C           G           D7           G    
At an old upright piano  that only grandma played 
              C                G            C          G            C           G   
CHORUS:   She played beautiful dreamer   my wild irish rose   never played them perfect 
              G             D          C           G                G    F       C    
but there was love in every note   and grandpa sat beside her    in harmony they sang 
       C           G            D            G  
at the old upright piano   that only grandma played   
Em            G                  Em              G       C                  G  
Grandpa was a stubborn man  They said it was his style   grandma called him onrery 
    G                  D        Am               G              G       F       C 
But she said it with a smile   Even he could not desguise   the love he felt so strong 
C                          G              D                   G 
We all could see it In his eyes  When she played his favorite song 
 
REPEAT CHORUS: 
Em           G           Em              G        C                     G  
I was almost seventeen   When my grandma died   I stayed all night with grandpa 
    G             D          Am         G                 G       F        C 
The old man never cried   We sat at her piano   There was nothing we could say 
   C                        G             D7               G 
It was the first time in my life   I ever heard my grandpa play 
 
C                   G            C          G               C                   G  
It wasn't beautiful dreamer   my wild irish rose   it was a song he played from memory 
       G              D        C               G            G         F       C 
and he never missed a note   I sat right there beside him   until the morning came 
       C                 G               D            G  
what a friend we have in Jesus   was the only song he played 
 
REPEAT CHORUS: 
       C           G            D            G 
at the old upright piano   that only grandma played 
 
 
 
 
I DON'T THINK IT'S PERFECT BUT IT SOUNDS REALLY CLOSE WHEN YOU PLAY ALONG WITH RECORDING.
