These Hands

	  		
C                     G7         C 
These hands ain't the hands of a gentleman  
                G7            C 
These hands are calloused and old 
                     E            F             C 
These hands raised a family these hands built a home 
                          D          G7 
Now these hands raised to praise the Lord 

      C             G7          C 
These hands won the heart of my loved one  
                        G7     C 
And with hers they were never alone 
                            E              F              C 
If these hands filled their task then what more could one ask 
                       G7            C 
For these fingers have worked to the bone 

                       E          F             C 
Now don't try to judge me by what you'd like me be 
                   G7     C      G7 
For my life hasn't been A success 
     C           E         F          C 
Some people have power but still they grieve 
                             A    G7 
While these hands brought me happiness 

        C             G7        C       G7   C 
Now I'm tired and I'm old and I haven?t much gold 
                        E         F 
Maybe things ain't been all that I planned 
                                  C       G7    C 
Lord above hear my plea when it's time to judge me 
                     G7           C
