Verse: D Everyday when school got out G I'd get off the bus and I'd run down DG That old dirt road where you were waiting for me A On the front porch in that blue swing G You'd be smiling and we would sing AG 'Amazing Grace' and 'Jesus Loves Me'
Chorus: D You were like my mother A You were my best friend Bm You were everything I want to be A And all the good inside of me G There's never been D Never been another A That loved me like you did GADAD My grandmother, my angel
Verse: D Even though I can't touch your face G I feel you with me everyday DG I wish you could see all my dreams coming true A When I get lost I close my eyes G And I feel you shining down so bright AG I feel you shining down on me
Chorus: D You were like my mother A You were my best friend Bm You were everything I want to be A And all the good inside of me G There's never been D Never been another A That loved me like you did GAD My grandmother, my angel
