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

OUTRO:
G C
A hundred year old photograph stares out from a frame

And if you look real close you'll see our eyes are just the same
