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

[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

[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
G (LET RING)
And if you look real close you'll see our eyes are just the same
