Two Rooms And A Kitchen

      C            C               
In my mind's eye I see her sitting 
F          C
by the fireside,
       F                  C       
in her little old country cottage 
      G        G
long ago.
        C               C         
And she told us all the stories of
     F                 C
 the days when she was young
      F               G           
and I miss my grandma more than 
      C           C
you can know.

[Chorus]
               F              
And there were two rooms and a 
 F             C             C
kitchen and a fiddle on the wall
      F                C          
in my grandma's little cottage 
   G           G
long ago.
C               C             F 
Two rooms and a kitchen and a 
            C
fiddle on the wall
       F               C*   
and an oil lamp in the window 
  G*      C          C
burning low.

[Verse 2]
       C              C           
And my grandma always took the 
       F                 C
time, the stories she would tell,
         F                C       
how they cut the corn and saved 
               C              
the hay, carried water from the 
G        G
well.
         C                 C      
How they dug the spuds and dried 
            F                C
the turf and made the gritter bread
               F                   
and when their prayers were said at
 C                  C*     G*     
 night, they'd make up the settle 
C          C
bed.

[Verse 3] (Key Change to D, read 
note above)
        Db              Db        
And she told us how the 
        Gb                   Db
neighbours, old McCain, he would 
come around,
        Gb                Db   
and the house was full of music, 
          Db              Ab      
grandpa took the fiddle down.
  Ab

           Db               
And they'd tell an old ghost 
 Db                  Gb        
stories, and they'd sing another 
   Db
song
      Gb                Db        
about how life was much better in 
    Db*       Ab*     Db       Db
the days when she was young.

[Chorus]
Gb              Gb            Db
Two rooms and a kitchen and a 
            Db
fiddle on the wall
      Gb               Db         
in my grandma's little cottage 
   Ab           Ab
long ago.
Db              Db            Gb
Two rooms and a kitchen and a 
            Db
fiddle on the wall
       Gb              Db*  
and an oil lamp in the window 
  Ab*     Db         Db
burning low.

[Verse 4]
      Db             Db           
And I think about my grandma and 
   Gb               Db
the love she gave to me
      Gb            Db           
since first I was a baby and she 
Db               Ab        Ab
nursed me on her knee.
            Db              Db    
Well, she's gone but not forgotten
         Gb              Db
 and someday we'll meet again,
        Gb                Db      
she was more than just my grandma,
           Db*  Ab*     Db       Db
 she was a very special friend.

[End-Chorus]
Gb              Gb            Db
Two rooms and a kitchen and a

fiddle on the wall
      Gb               Db         
in my grandma's little cottage 
   Ab           Ab
long ago.
     Db              Db            
Just two rooms and a kitchen and a 
Gb            Db
fiddle on the wall
       Gb              Db*  
and an oil lamp in the window 
  Ab*     Db         Db
burning low.
