Verse 1:
GCA hundred year old photograph stares out from a frame
GD
And if you look real close you'll see, our eyes are just the same
GCAm
I never met them face to face but I still know them well
GDG
From the stories my dear grandmama tells
Verse 2:
GC
Elijah was a farmer he knew how to make things grow
GD
And Fanny vowed she'd follow him where ever he would go
GCAm
As things turned out they never left their small Kentucky farm
BmAmCDG
But he kept her fed and she kept him warm
GDCGD
They're my guardian angels and I know they can see
GDEmCD
Every step I take they are watching over me
GDBmC
I might not know where I'm going but I'm sure where I come from
GCAmDG
They're my guardian angels, and I'm their special one
Verse 3:
GC
Sometimes when I'm tired I feel Elijah take my arm
GD
He says, "People doing hard work never did a body harm"
GCAm
And when I'm really troubled and I don't know what to do
BmAmCDG
Fanny whispers, "Just do your best, we're awful proud of you"
Chorus:
GDCGD
They're my guardian angels and I know they can see

Every step I take they are watching over me
GDBmC
I might not know where I'm going but I'm sure where I come from
GCAmDG
They're my guardian angels, and I'm their special one
