INTRO: C5  G5  D5  G5  G5   

C5                G5               C5                 G5           C5            G5 
For as long as I remember   When Friday night came round   The family would gather 
G5                 D5           A5                   G5             G5        F5         C5 
out at grandpa's house   With supper over and the dishes done   Then the best time came 
      C5           G5           D5           G5    
At an old upright piano  that only grandma played 
              C5                G5            C5          G5            C5           G5   
CHORUS:   She played beautiful dreamer   my wild irish rose   never played them perfect 
              G5             D5          C5           G5                G5    F5       C5    
but there was love in every note   and grandpa sat beside her    in harmony they sang 
       C5           G5            D5            G5  
at the old upright piano   that only grandma played   
E5            G5                  E5              G5       C5                  G5  
Grandpa was a stubborn man  They said it was his style   grandma called him onrery 
    G5                  D5        A5               G5              G5       F5       C5 
But she said it with a smile   Even he could not desguise   the love he felt so strong 
C5                          G5              D5                   G5 
We all could see it In his eyes  When she played his favorite song 
 
REPEAT CHORUS: 
E5           G5           E5              G5        C5                     G5  
I was almost seventeen   When my grandma died   I stayed all night with grandpa 
    G5             D5          A5         G5                 G5       F5        C5 
The old man never cried   We sat at her piano   There was nothing we could say 
   C5                        G5             D5               G5 
It was the first time in my life   I ever heard my grandpa play 
 

C5                   G5            C5          G5               C5                   G5  
It wasn't beautiful dreamer   my wild irish rose   it was a song he played from memory 
       G5              D5        C5               G5            G5         F5       C5 
and he never missed a note   I sat right there beside him   until the morning came 
       C5                 G5               D5            G5  
what a friend we have in Jesus   was the only song he played 
 
REPEAT CHORUS: 
       C5           G5            D5            G5 
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.
