(Medium ballad)

C G/B Am F G C
I read a note my grandma wrote back in nineteen twenty-three.
C G/B Am Dm7 Gsus G
Grandpa kept it in his coat, and he showed it once to me. He said,
C G/B Am F G C
"Boy, you might not understand, but a long, long time ago,
C G/B Am F G C F/C C
Grandma's daddy didn't like me none, but I loved your Grandma so."
C G/B Am F G C
We had this crazy plan to meet and run away together.
C G/B Am Dm7 Gsus G
Get married in the first town we came to, and live forever.
C G/B Am F G C
But nailed to the tree where we were supposed to meet, instead
C G/B Am F G C F/C C
Of her, I found this letter, and this is what it said:
F G C F G C
If you get there before I do, don't give up on me.
F G Am
I'll meet you when my chores are through;
Dm7 Dm7/C Gsus G
I don't know how long I'll be.
F G C F G Am
But I'm not gonna let you down, darling wait and see.
F G E7 Am7
And between now and then, till I see you again,
F(2) G C G/B | Am Am/G | Dm G | C F/C C
I'll be loving you. Love, me.
C G/B Am F G C
I read those words just hours before my Grandma passed away,
C G/B Am Dm7 Gsus G
In the doorway of a church where me and Grandpa stopped to pray.
C G/B Am F G C
I know I'd never seen him cry in all my fifteen years;
C G/B Am F G C F/C C
But as he said these words to her, his eyes filled up with tears.
F G C F G C
If you get there before I do, don't give up on me.
F G Am
I'll meet you when my chores are through;
Dm7 Dm7/C Gsus G
I don't know how long I'll be.
F G C F G Am
But I'm not gonna let you down, darling wait and see.
F G E7 Am7
And between now and then, till I see you again,
F(2) G C Am7
I'll be loving you. Love, me.
F G E7 Am7
Between now and then, till I see you again,
F(2) G (NO CHORDS)
I'll be loving you. Love, me.
