Second Hand White Baby Grand

	  		 

  Asus2                       
My mother bought it secondhand 
        Bdim/A       A 
From a silent movie star 
       Asus2/C#                            Dsus2   D 
It was out of tune but still I learned to play 
    F#m              D                 
And with each note we both would smile 
 F#m              C#m 
Forgetting who we are 
     Dm                E       Asus4 
And all the pain would simply fly away 


          D              A      
Something secondhand and broken 
           D             A 
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  
Oh, the words were left unspoken 
         F#m/Eb       Dm 
When my Mama came around 
         A/C#              Dm        
But that Secondhand White Baby Grand 
  F#m               E         Asus2   A 
Still had something beautiful to give 


Bbsus2                                  
Through missing keys and broken strings 
 Cdim/Bb          Bb 
The music was our own 
Bbsus2/D            Ebsus2         Eb 
Until the day we said our last goodbyes 
    Gm             Eb   
The baby grand was sent away 
   Gm       Dm 
A child all alone 
    Ebm          F          Bb 
To pray somebody else would realize 


                Eb           Bb 
That something secondhand and broken 
          Eb             Bb 
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 
Oh, the words are still unspoken 
         Gm/E        Ebm 
Now that Mama's not around 
          Bb/D             Ebm 
But that Secondhand White Baby Grand 
Gm                  F            Bbsus2   Bb 
Still has something beautiful to give 


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


Asus2       
So now I wake up every day 
    Bdim/A           A 
And see her standing there 
     Asus2/C#                 Dsus2    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 
     Dm              E           Asus4   A 
I'll play her song till everybody knows 


                D              A 
That something secondhand and broken 
          D              A 
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 
Oh, the words can't stay unspoken 
       F#m/Eb       Dm 
Until everyone has found 

      A/C#             Dm 
That Secondhand White Baby Grand 
     F#m                 Dm      E    Asus2   A 
That still has something beautiful to give 
    Dm/F               E           A 
I still have something beautiful to give
