[INTRO]
Am Am Am Am
[VERSE 1]
Am Grandma's hands clapped in church on Sunday morning Am E Grandma's hands played the tambourine so well Am Grandma's hands used to issue out a warning E D She'd say, "Baby, don't you run so fast E D Might fall on a piece of glass E D Might be snake there in that grass" Am Am Grandma's hands
[VERSE 2]
Am Grandma's hands sooth the local unwed mother Am E Grandma's hands used to ache sometime and swell Am Grandma's hands used to lift her face and tell her E D She'd say, "Baby, Grandma understands E D That you really loved that man, E D But put yourself in Jesus' hands" Am Am Grandma's Hands
[INSTRUMENTAL]
Am Am Am Am E D E D E D Am Am
[VERSE 3]
Am Grandma's hands used to hand me piece of candy Am E Grandma's hands picked me up each time I fell Am Grandma's hands, boy, they sure did come in handy E D She said, "Mattie why'd you whip that boy E D What'd you want to spank him for? E D He dun' drop no apple core" E D But I don't have Grandma anymore E D If I get to heaven I'll look for E D If I get to heaven I'll look for E D If I get to heaven I'll look for Am Am Grandma's hands
