SECONDHAND WHITE BABY GRAND - SMASH

SECONDHAND WHITE BABY GRAND
Smash

Intr.: A  A2  A

       A2                                                
My mother bought it secondhand
                               Dm/A              A2
 from a silent movie star
         A7+                                             D2  D
It was out of tune but still I learned to play
      F#m                         D                          
And with each note we both
                         F#m                C#m
would smile forgetting who we are
     C/G      Bb/F           E4     E     Asus  A2
And all the pain would simply fly away

                   D                          A                       D                   A
Something secondhand and broken still can make a pretty sound
       D/F#             A/E             B/D#    C#/F
Even if it doesn't have a place to live
            F#m                       A/E                   F#m/D#               Dm
Oh, the words were left unspoken when my momma came around
             A/C#                        Dm             F#m                               E4     E       A
But that Secondhand White Baby Grand       still had something beautiful to give


               Bb2                      Bb      Bb2/D       Ebm                 Bb
Through missing keys and broken strings the music was our own
Bb2/D                Eb2                       Eb
Until the day we said our last goodbyes
       Gm                    Eb                 Gm        Dm      
The baby grand was sent away, a child all alone,
     Db           B      F4       F        Bbsus  Bb2
to pray somebody else would realize

                          Eb                       Bb                    Eb                   Bb
That something secondhand and broken still can make a pretty sound
      Eb/G             Bb/F              C/E     D/F#
Even if it doesn't have a place to live
             Gm                     Bb/F                  Gm/E              Ebm
Oh. the words are still unspoken now that momma's not around
            Bb/D                      Ebm             Gm                               F4     F       Bb
But that Secondhand White Baby Grand     still has something beautiful to give




      Gb/Bb                                     Bb
For many years the music had to roam
   Dm                                        E
Until we found a way to find a home

   A2                           Dm/A            A
So now I wake up every day and see her standing there
      A7+                                       D2      D
Just waiting for a partner to compose
       F#m                       D
And I wish my mother still could hear
      F#m                      C#m
That sound beyond compare
     C/G      Bb/F     E4     E      Asus  A2
I'll play her song til everybody knows.

                   D                          A                       D                   A
Something secondhand and broken still can make a pretty sound
             D/F#               A/E            B/D#    C#/F
Don't we all deserve a family room       to live
            F#m                        A/E                   F#m/D#       Dm
Oh, the words can't stay unspoken until everyone has found
             A/C#                        Dm                F#m                         E4     E       A
But that Secondhand White Baby Grand    still had something beautiful to give

A2  Dm  A  A2 Dm                              E                 A
                             Still had something beautiful to give
