A Celebration Upon Completion

Intro is basis of the song’s finger 
picking style....

C  C/B  G6  C  (2x)

In between the chords  C and C/B, 
and C/B and G6, there is a  3-1-0/1 
 figure on the B
that you should note should you want
 to play the song like Conor does on
 the album.  I
have the time or knowledge on how to
 tab it, but I can definitely play 
it myself, sorry
I can’t help you there.  Use your 
pinky hit the B string, 3rd fret 
while playing C and
chords, andafter a while , it should
 come along.   Good Luck.  Great 
song, by the way.  thnx.

my grandfather's name was moon
             C/B
because his eyes were bright and 
round
        G6                     
and no amount of time or liquor 
             C
could dull them

my grandmother's name was joy
            C/B
because it spilled out of her heart
     G6                            
and bathed her precious children in
      C
 its warmth

            C/B
beyond the sorrow and the pain
    G6                             
but how they ever found it i cannot

my grandfather was a doctor
              C/B
he cured the sick with his kind 
hands
        G6                         
and he taught me how to sail and 
               C
how to find dry land

my grandmother was all sweetness
              C/B
and when she spoke we all heard 
bells
          G6                       
and they rang in such a way that we
            C
 were comforted
and they held on to each other with 
C/B
all of the strength they had
          G6                       
and they loved with devotion 
                C
be-yond what i understand
             F                     
but i guess fear has a way of 
   G
making sleep unbearable
         Am                 C
and the days seem cold and long
           F
but we’ll cry and we dance

times)
