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.
