Love Me

[Intro]

[Verse 1]
C         G/B          Am              F        G
 I read a note my grandma wrote back in nineteen twenty
three
C C           G/B     Am
  Grandpa kept   it in  his coat,
       Dm7                 Gadd11 G
and he showed it once to me
         C              G/B      Am              F
He said, "Boy, you might   not understand, but a long,
    G
long time ago
C C            G/B       Am      F
  Grandma's daddy didn't like me none,
      G                     C
but I loved your Grandma so.

[Verse 2]
C             G/B       Am       F         G        C
 "We had this crazy plan  to meet and run away together
    C         G/B         Am
Get married in   the first  town we came to,
Dm7             Gadd11 G
   and live forever
C           G/B        Am                 F
 But nailed to the tree  where we were supposed to meet,
G
 instead
C C       G/B     Am
   I found   this letter,
F    G
 and this is what it said:

[Chorus]
C        F           G
 "If you get there before I do,
C F           G
   don't give up on me
C     F                G
 I'll meet you when my chores are through;
Am Dm7               F
   I  don't know how long I'll be
Gadd11 G        F         G
        But I'm not gonna let you down,
C F        G
   darling wait and see
Am       F            G
  And between now and then,
       E        Am
till I see you again
        F          G      C  G/B
I'll be loving you. Love, me"

[Verse 3]
C             G/B             Am      F          G
 I read those words just hours  before my Grandma passed
    C
away
       C       G/B        Am                  Dm7
In the doorway of a church  where me and Grandpa stopped to
pray
Gadd11 G
C           G/B   Am              F     G
 I know I'd never seen him cry in all my fifteen years
C    C         G/B      Am       F
 But as he said   these words to her,
    G
his eyes filled up with tears

[Chorus]
C       F           G
 If you get there before I do,
C F           G
   don't give up on me
C     F                G
 I'll meet you when my chores are through;
Am Dm7               F
   I  don't know how long I'll be
Gadd11 G        F         G
        But I'm not gonna let you down,
C F        G
   darling wait and see
Am       F            G
  And between now and then,
       E        Am
till I see you again
        F          G      C
I'll be loving you. Love, me
Em   F            G
  Between now and then,
       E        Am
till I see you again
        F          G
I'll be loving you. Love, me
