[Verse]
C G Am F
I remember the time when my grand dad and I
C G F
Would sit by the fire at night
C G Am F
And I listened to stories of how he once lived
C G F
By the glow of the kerosene light
C G C
By the glow of the kerosene light
C G Am F
He said "Mom and Dad sent me off to school
C G F
Where I learned how to read and to write
C G
And they listened for hours
Am F
As I read from my books
C G F
By the glow of the kerosene light
C G C
By the glow of the kerosene light"
C G Am F
Your grandma and I, we were wed at sixteen
C G F
Lord she was a beautiful sight
C G Am F
Oh proudly I placed the ring on her hand
C G F
By the glow of the kerosene light
C G C
By the glow of the kerosene light
C G Am F
About one year later your daddy was born
C G F
And your grandma held my hand so tight
C G Am F
Oh I can’t tell the joy as she brought forth new life
C G F
By the glow of the kerosene light
C G C
By the glow of the kerosene light
C G Am F
Well having a child did weaken her so
C G F
She just wasn’t up to the fight
C G Am F
But she looked so peaceful as she went to her rest
C G F
By the glow of the kerosene light
C G C
By the glow of the kerosene light
C G Am F
Then as now the times they were hard
C G F
To succeed you would try all your might
C G Am F
Well sometimes love blooms and sometimes dreams die
C G F
By the glow of the kerosene light
C G C
By the glow of the kerosene light
C G C
By the glow of the kerosene light
C G C
By the glow of the kerosene light
C G C
By the glow of the kerosene light
