                                         C 
Grandfather came to Canada
               G 
With a trade of a different time
     D 
A learned man of god
                 C                           G 
He just wasn't worth a dime
                                               C 
So, mended clothes for pennies
                     G 
While his children went to school
 D 
Sang them asleep at night
 C                                                       G 
Songs from the Old World and New
 D                         G 
Ohh, he could sing
         C                                   G 
Had nothing to leave behind
                 D                             Em       C 
But his voice, gave him wings
             D                                           C   G 
For a little while, he could fly_

                                             C 
There was talk on the radio
                 G 
About a contest with a prize
 D 
Cast to the best singer
 C                                           G 
Thought he'd give it a try
                                               C 
His son could play the piano
         G 
And don't you know, they won
 D 
Paid off some debts
                 C                         G 
And the money was all gone
 D                         G 
Ohh, he could sing
         C                                   G 
Had nothing to leave behind
                 D                             Em       C 
But his voice, gave him wings
             D                                           C   G 
For a little while, he could fly_

                             C 
Never saw his children grown
               G 
He was too young when he died
         D 
His son became a scholar
               C                       G 
Played piano on the side
                                         C 
When I was young my father played
         G 
And I would sing along
 D 
Songs from the world he knew
                 C                                   G 
And I remember 'most every one

                                         C 
My voice was passed down to me
 G 
Through the family line
         D 
The gifts that we are given
                 C                               G 
Are the gifts we leave behind
