D           A               D                  A
Wish I could watch them jumping round, calling names
D                A            D             A
Kicking cans and playing tag, hide in every place
D            A                 D                  G
Wish I could see them now, and even join in their games
D             A              Bm                   G                         D
How different life would be, but I've got no time for silly chitter-chatter

          A
I'm on my way
           Bm                           G                   D
That's why my blood's still warm and I'm not getting better
               A
Time's passing away
             C                 G                    D   A
Because I've got a thing about seeing my grandson grow

D            A              D                A
Wish I could buy them toys, rubber balls and trains
D                 A                D              A
Watch them see how tall they grow, make it day by day
D                 A             D                  G
Oh I want nothing more, than to see them laugh and play
D                A                       Bm               G                     D
Life would be so different then, but I've got no time for silly chitter-chatter
          A
I'm on my way

             Bm                           G                   D
'Cause while my blood's still warm and my mind doesn't matter
             A
I'm going to pray
             C                 G                    D   A
Because I've got a thing about seeing my grandson grow

        Bm              G                     D
That we got no time for silly chitter-chatter
          A
I'm on my way
             Bm                           G                   D
'Cause while my blood's still warm and my mind doesn't matter
               A
I'm hoping to stay
             C                 G                    D  A
Because I've got a thing about seeing my grandson grow
