about

June 2019, our grandma delivered the news that she was diagnosed with stage four pancreatic cancer. She died that October. She was a big fan of music, especially when made by her family. So here's one my dad and I did. Love you and miss you gma.

Asus2
Out of the phone
Out of the phone
Out comes the news

B6(9,11)
Straight from the mouth of the mom
“hey I'm leaving soon
Asus2….. B6(9,11)…. Asus2
maybe 6 months from June”

Asus2
I see her eyes through the facetime
And her wide open smile
B6(9,11)
Takes me out to the porch
Where the daylight piles on

Asus2
I feel my lungs suck in a bit
Try and give her the strength of a friendship
Doesn’t even really seem like she needs it

I feel my tears fall as I sit
Try and give her the strength of a friendship
Doesn’t even really seem like she needs it

Emaj……………..F#min
Wondering just which of the cousins
G#min……………………F#min
Are feeling the same feeling that I am
Emaj……………..F#min
Wish I could do more for my father but we
Bmaj
stay in touch
Dmaj
Aooooo
Asus2
We stay in touch
Aooooo
We stay in touch
Aooooo

Believe it or not
Believe it or not
Believe it or not
But its true
Rain gave way to the sun
The day we buried you
Literally happened

I saw the season change in a day
I saw the leaves change in a day
I saw my reason on this plane
Change in a day

I can feel the way to her love
In every little thing I do
Its her attitude I bring along
When I’m recording this song
When I feel something wrong

I know how to make it right
Know how to be a light
Know how to drink a busch light

Googling how to press a flower
So it stays in sight each day, yellow rose
Always remembering I have the power

To stay in touch
Aooooo
To stay in touch
Aooooo
To stay in touch
Aooooo
