[Intro]
Am
Mmm-mm-mm, mmm-mm-mm.
[Verse]
Am
Grandma's hands, clapped in church on Sunday morning,
E7
Grandma's hands, played a tambourine so well.
Am
Grandma's hands, used to issue out a warning, she'd say;
E7 D7 E7 D7
"Billy don't you run so fast; might fall on a piece of glass,
E7 D7 Am
"Might be snakes there in that grass", Grandma's hands.
[Verse]
Am
Grandma's hands, soothed a local un-wed mother,
E7
Grandma's hands, used to ache sometimes and swell.
Am
Grandma's hands, used to lift her face and tell her;
E7 D7 E7 D7
"Baby, Grandma understands, that you really love that man,
E7 D7 Am
Put yourself in Jesus' hands", Grandma's hands.
[Verse]
Am
Grandma's hands, used to hand me piece of candy,
E7
Grandma's hands, picked me up each time I fell.
Am
Grandma's hands, boy, they really came in handy, she'd say;
E7 D7 E7 D7
"Matty don't you whip that boy, what you want to spank him for?
E7 D7 E7 D7
He didn't drop no apple core", but I don't have Grandma any more.
E7 D7 Am
If I get to Heaven, I'll look for, Grandma's hands.
[Outro]
Am
Mmm-mm-mm.
