C              G            Am            F
I remember the time when my grand dad and I
      C          G      F
Would sit by the fire at night
      C          G          Am          F
And I listened to stories of how he once lived
       C           G        F
By the glow of the kerosene light
       C           G        C
By the glow of the kerosene light
 
   C             G        Am        F
He said "Mom and Dad sent me off to school
        C              G           F
Where I learned how to read and to write
         C            G
And they listened for hours
     Am           F
As I read from my books
       C           G        F
By the glow of the kerosene light
       C           G        C
By the glow of the kerosene light"
 
     C           G          Am        F
Your grandma and I, we were wed at sixteen
     C         G         F
Lord she was a beautiful sight
   C         G          Am          F
Oh proudly I placed the ring on her hand
       C           G        F
By the glow of the kerosene light
       C           G        C
By the glow of the kerosene light
 
C              G          Am        F
About one year later your daddy was born
         C            G          F
And your grandma held my hand so tight
     C              G          Am                F
Oh I can’t tell the joy as she brought forth new life
       C           G        F
By the glow of the kerosene light
       C           G        C
By the glow of the kerosene light
 
    C          G        Am         F
Well having a child did weaken her so
    C           G         F
She just wasn’t up to the fight
    C             G               Am          F
But she looked so peaceful as she went to her rest
       C           G        F
By the glow of the kerosene light
       C           G        C
By the glow of the kerosene light
 
C       G       Am              F
Then as now the times they were hard
    C                G            F
To succeed you would try all your might
     C              G          Am               F
Well sometimes love blooms and sometimes dreams die
       C           G        F
By the glow of the kerosene light
       C           G        C
By the glow of the kerosene light
 
       C           G        C
By the glow of the kerosene light
       C           G        C
By the glow of the kerosene light
       C           G        C
By the glow of the kerosene light
