Key:

Introduction:

  C 
hey, grandfather
            F            G           F 
i know you well, but still you hide
            F            G           F 
all of the pain that burns inside
            Am            G           F 
I heard every fevered name you cried
                     G 
i know that you&rsquo ve lied
         C 
and hey, grandfather
               F              G          F 
I know you&rsquo re worn down to the bone
                F         G          F 
held hostage in fear of being known
          Am            G           F 
hiding behind your walls of stone
              G 
you feel so alone
      F                        C 
but stop, and look around you
          Am             G 
see the family that found you
          F                        C 
let them loose the chains that bound you
            Am               G 
let their loving arms surround you
  C 
hey, grandfather
                     F         G              F 
I know you told us of your shame
                          F           G           F 
hanging your head, in fear of blame
                          Am      G            F 
&lsquo unworthy and broken&rsquo  is your claim
                                C            G            F        G 
but know that we love you just the same
          C 
and hey, grandfather
                     F            G              F 
open your heart to something more
                          F          G            F 
the maker is knocking at your door
                          Am       G           F 
he holds the oath to which you swore
                             G 
and he loves her more
         F                        C 
so stop, and let him find you
              Am                             G 
let him loose the chains that bind you
               F                        C 
let him put your past behind you
                    Am                     G 
know that shame will not define you
        C 
so hey, grandfather
                       F          G            F 
let the light shine in on your face
                    F          G        F 
all of your sins he can erase
                      Am         G         F 
they will be gone without a trace
                C             G                F 
revel in endless, matchless grace
                          G 
he&rsquo s so full of grace
                         F    G    C 
he&rsquo ll give you grace
