When Grandma got dementia

VERSE
Bm
When Grandma got dementia
D
It started gradually
Em
She'd forget the name of friends and places
F#
Momentarily

As Grandma got dementia
A little more each day
The woman that we new and loved
Slowly went away

When Grandma got dementia
How my mother cried
Helpless to do anything
As her mother slowly died

[Instrumental]

The doctors didn't mention
The anger and the screams
As she fought a losing battle
Her against her dreams

When Grandma got dementia
I was only young
But I still remember it vividly
As what mum could become

Oh Grandma, oh grandma
Oh Grandma, oh grandma

Oh Grandma, oh grandma
Oh Grandma, oh grandma

[Instrumental]

(One strum)
When Grandma got dementia
We new there's no way back
Long ago she left this world
We were living with the sack

And as Grandma and dementia
Became one and the same
She remained our Grandma
But only in name (slower)
