[Intro]
A E A
[Verse One]
A
Here?s a tape...for you to play,
E
while I can still fog a mirror.
You can play it...again and again,
A
when I am no longer here.
A
They?re just little ditties,
A7 D
Just me and my banjo.
A
They?re all here for ?ya,
E A
little stories...you should know.
[Verse Two]
A
There?s a song about my mom and dad.
E
God rest their souls.
Songs of Illinois,
A
where we made our home.
A
There?s songs that make me cry,
A7
when I hear the melo-(D )-dy.
A
And I saved them for ?ya,
E A
on this tape...of memo- -ries.
[Verse Three]
A
God gave me many things.
E
He?s blessed me all my life.
So when the angels call me,
A
well...it will be all right.
A
So when you get the urge,
A7 D
and you find the time.
A
Play a little tune or two,
E A
when grandpa?s on your mind.
D A
Just play a little tune or two,
E A
when I?m on your mind.
