(A) There’s a song about my mom and dad. 
God rest their (E) souls. 
Songs of Illinois, 
where we made our (A) home.

(A7) when I hear the melo-(D )-dy. 
And I saved them (A) for ‘ya, 
on this (E) tape...of memo-(A)-ries.

So when the angels call me, 
well...it will be all (A) right. 

(A) So when you get the urge, 
(A7) and you find the (D) time. 
Play a little (A) tune or two, 
(E) when grandpa’s on your (A) mind. 

TAGG 

(D) Just play a little (A) tune or two, 
(E) when I’m on your (A) mind.
