[Verse 1]
[G]{937 Pre- war Kim[C]ball[G]
[C][D][G][C][D][G]
1, 2, 3, gone}

[Verse 2]
Oh, it [C]sat in this [G]corner [D]for many
[G]a year
[C]Through fireside [G]parties,
[D]tears and cheers
And the [C]hands of James [G]Hooker
flew [D]over it's key[G]s
And [C]God know who [D]else 'fore
it came [G]to me
And when [C]I was alone

[Verse 3]
I could be [G]Julie Gold
It [C]rang her "From A Dis[G]tance"
just like [D]it was my own
I'd pre[C]tend I've the voice
of [G]Beth Neilsen Chapman
I wrote [C]'Late [G]Night Grande' with just [D]my right
hand happen[G]in'
[C][D][G][C][D]

[Verse 4]
[G]
Now it's [C]keys rent the air
in it's [G]new place to stand
[C]A gift for the chil[G]dren who'll
play [D]right and left hand
[C]Just a [G]1937 Pre- war Kimball
Oh, with [C]the grace of that
[D]three- quarter [G]grand
Oh, [C]the grace of that [D]three-[G]
[C]qua[D]rter gra[G]nd[C]
[D]Oh,

[Verse 5]
[G]it's lon[C]esome in this
[G]corner [D]at five [G]am
[C]I'd call Harlan [G]Howard,
only [D]he'd understand
[C]All those [G]melodies that [D]came to [G]be
[C]Mornings in [G]this corner,
that piano [D]and me[G]
And I [C]wished for the left

[Verse 6]
[C]hand
like Glen[G]n D. Hardin
I could [C]play Jimmy [G]Webb
[D]or perhaps Randy Newman
Ah, it's a [C]blessing,
it never met [G]Jerry Lee's feet
Just the [C]hands of those chil
[G]dren is all [D]this Kimball needs
[G][C][D][G]

[Verse 7]
[C]I'l[D]l[G]
[C]let[D] it[G] go[C],
[D]let [Bm]it go
That pi[C]ano I [G]bought from Al
[D]Jones long ago
I've [C]let it go, I've let [D]it [Bm]go
[C]And I smiled as [D]it rolled
out my [G]door
And the [C]songs that we wrote,
[G]ah, note [D]for [Em]note
That pi[C]ano will al[D]ways[G]
[C]kno[D]w
[G][C][D]

[Verse 8]
[G]
Now [C]it's keys rent the air
in it's new [G]place to stand
A gift [C]for the chil[G]dren who'll
play [D]right and left hand
[C]Just a [G]1937 Pre- war Kimball
Oh, the [C]grace of that [D]three- quarter [G]grand
Oh, [C]the grace of that three- [D]quarter [G]grand
Oh, it's [C]the grace of that three-
[D]quarter grand
[G][C][D]

[Verse 9]
[G]
[C]And[D][G][C][D][G]
[C]God
bless the child
Who's [G]got a song
Who's got [C]a song
[D]Who's got a song

[Outro 1]
