 Grandma's hands 
           A   
Clapped in church, on Sunday morning,  
Em7   
Grandma's hands 
         B7   
Played a tambourine so well 
Em   
 Grandma's hands   
A  
Used to issue, out a warning 
            B7   
She'd say, "Billy don't you  
A7   
 Run so fast  
B7   
 Might fall on 
  A7   
A piece of glass   
B7   
 "Might be snakes there 
A7   
 In that grass" 
Em   
 Grandma's hands 

Em   
 Grandma's hands 
A   
Soothed a local unwed mother 
Em   
Grandma's hands  
        A   
Used to ache, sometimes and swell   
Em   
 Grandma's hands 
A  
Used to lift her face and tell her 
B7              A7   
 "Baby, Grandma understands  
B7               A7   
 That you really 
B7   
 Love that man  
A7   
 Put yourself  
   B7   
In Jesus hands"   
Em   
 Grandma's hands. 

Em   
 Grandma's hands  
        A  
Used to hand me, piece of candy  
Em   
Grandma's hands 
          A   
Picked me up, each time I fell.   
Em   
 Grandma's hands 
         A   
Boy, they really, came in handy   
          B7   
She'd say, "Matty don't you   
A7   
 Whip that boy   
B7   
 What you want   
   A7   
To spank him for   
B7   
 He didn' drop 
   A7   
No apple core"   
      B7   
But I don't have   
        A7   
Grandma anymore   
B7   
 If I get to Heaven 
A7   
 I'll look for   
Em   
 Grandma's hands
