Hands On A Grain Of Sand

Biography:

Amelia Curran is a Canadian singer, playwright,
and songwriter. She was born in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador and currently lives in Halifax, Nova Scotia. The National Post describes her music as “a bit like Leonard Cohen being channeled in a dusty saloon by Patsy Cline.”

Curran started playing guitar and writing songs as a teenager and eventually dropped out of university in order to busk on the streets of St. John’s. That led to her first album release in 2000, and since then she has released four more.

Hands on a Grain of Sand
by Amelia Curran

This isn't quite complete.
There are a few chords missing that
I can not quite nail down, but it is playable as written,
and I believe this is more accurate than the existing
version that is floating around right now.

Capo 6

Intro: Em, G, C

Em G C
Hounds are broodin' in my bones
C G
But I'm a good dog runnin' halfway home
D C
Hear the lonely promenade
G D
Come to nurse the tender terrways

CHORUS:
Em G C
All hands on a grain of sand
G D
Half smallest things are the high demand
D C
I can only serenade
G Em
And wait my turn to burn or fade

Em,G,C

Em G C
All the colours you can see
C G
Cover the borders of a masterpiece
D C
Time can paint the best of me
G D
Over the unclear eyes of memory

CHORUS
Em,G,C

D C
Cover love from sympathy
G D
Be my maker, set me free
Am C
Truer hearts could not contain
G D
How I cover love but I have not changed

Em G C
If I had the past undone
C G
Then I would give my heart to everyone
D C
Hounds are turnin', doves have flown
C G D
But I am a good dog runnin' halfway home

CHORUS
Outro: Em, G, C
