[Verse]
      D
Grand daddy used to sit me on his 
knee,
    Am7                       G
And tell me how it was in the old 
country.
D
Famine and floods and crops that 
failed,
    Am7                    G      
I'd listen for hours as he told 
        D
his tale.

[Verse]
                D
He said, 'There must have been a 
curse on the family name,'
       Am7                     
But he swore he'd be the one to 
 G
break that chain.
         D
With the money he saved by the sweat
 of his brow,
     Am7                        G 
He'd get 'em out of there, some 
            D
day, somehow.
         G                  
Well, he never was much of a 
 C/G      G
gamblin' man.
       D
But he dreamed of passage to the 
'promised land'.
G                      C/G       
Bet it all on a better life in A 
G     A
meric a,
                F                  
He said, 'We'll change our fate and
      C               D
 this danged O'Reilly luck.'

[Verse]
      D
I can only imagine the look on his 
face,
Am7                      G
Tickets in hand, as they counted the
 days.

El even passports, no turnin' back,
   Am7                         
De cidin' what they should, and 
 G               D
shouldn't pack.

[Verse]
        D
But the baby caught the fever, just 
days before,
        Am7                    G
And the doctor hung a sheet on their
 front door.
    D
For two long weeks, they were 
quarantined,
     Am7                      
Stra nded with nothin' but his 
 G               D
shattered dream
         G                  
Well, he never was much of a 
 C/G      G
gamblin' man.
       D
But he dreamed of passage to the

      D
Grand daddy told his story, till he 
passed away.
        Am7                        
How the people all cheered from the
 G
 dock that day.
         D
While he shook his fist with a tear 
in his eye.
       Am7                   G
At the beautiful ship of the White 
Star line.
       F                      
And he cursed his fate and his 
 C               D
danged O'Reilly luck,
       F              C           
As the mighty Titanic sailed into 
    D
the sun.
         G                   C/G  
Well, he never was much of a

       D
But he found his way to the promised
 land,
G                      C/G        
Bet it all on a better life in Am
