Lior - My Grandfather Chords

When I was born my grandfather held me in his warm hands
And it seems though his eyes are teary ,
But it's hard to tell from an old photograph
While my brother and sister danced at the feet of his tired and weathered frame
He said there's a light to this boy I've rarely seen
And there he gave me my name

Well my grandfather was a sniper 
In the Red Army
He never had any brothers in arms for on both sides stood enemies
With a cold, unbroken will to survive
His steady hand took aim
And he drank just enough to keep himself warm
For he never spoke his true name

Eb              Ab              Bb                      Eb
When I was a boy,the summers were ours
                Ab                             Bb       
He would take me down to the sea
        Eb                      Ab
He?d stand on the waters edge
        Bb              Eb
And watch me go crazy
          Ab            Am              Bb
As the gentle waves rolled in

Lookin' back I wonder how he must have felt
 Ab                                        Bb
Watching me and running so free
          Eb                            Ab      Bb              Eb
All the years in his life he wished he could forget
        Ab              Bb                      Eb
Did he look at the world through me?

Eb              Ab              Bb                      Eb
When I was a man I flew across the Ocean
                Ab                  Bb          
When I heard he needed care
        Eb              Ab              Bb              Eb
I listened as he spoke of his turbulent life
            Ab  Am              Bb
From his ordinary chair
        Cm              Cm/Bb   
And he ended by saying
Cm              Am7b5
'Oh,I've had enough
        Ab                                 Bb
The time has come for me to go
        Eb              Ab
I have only one wish
           Bb        Eb
That is left in me
        Ab      Bb      Eb
To be taken peacefully'

MMMM-mmmmm

Eb          Ab          Bb         Eb
Just before I was due to marry
            Ab                            Bb    
I heard he could not walk anymore
        Eb              Ab              
It was then he gave up fight
Bb              Eb
I had said goodbye 
            Ab  Am      Bb
Almost one year before 

Cm              Cm/Bb   Cm              Am7b5
And I'll never forget something he told me
                Ab                                   Bb
?Yes it?s a cruel world ,but you must live without fear?
        Eb              Ab      Bb      Eb
Well I sure do miss my grandfather
            Ab          Bb          Eb
He's the reason why I'm here
