These Hands

Biography:

By most accounts, George Jones (born George Glenn Jones September 12, 1931 in Saratoga, Texas, died April 26, 2013, in Nashville, Tennessee), was the finest vocalist in the recorded history of country music. Initially, he was a hardcore honky tonker in the tradition of Hank Williams, but over the course of his career he developed an affecting, nuanced ballad style. In the course of his career, he never left the top of the country charts, even as he suffered innumerable personal and professional difficulties.

These Hands

B F#7 B
These hands ain't the hands of a gentleman
F#7 B
These hands are calloused and old
Eb7 E B
These hands raised a family these hands built a home
G#m C#7 F#7
Now these hands raised to praise the Lord

B F#7 B
These hands won the heart of my loved one
F#7 B
And with hers they were never alone
Eb7 E B
If these hands filled their task then what more could one ask
G#m C#7 F#7
For these fingers have worked to the bone

B Eb7 E B
Now don't try to judge me by what you'd like me be
F#7 B
For my life hasn't been much success
B Eb7 E B
While some people have power but still they grieve
G#m C#7 F#7
While these hands brought me happiness

B F#7 B
Now I'm tired and I'm old and I haven’t much gold
Eb7 E
Maybe things ain't been all that I planned
Fdim B F#7 B
God above hear my plea when it's time to judge me
F#7 G#m C#
Take a look at these hard working hands
B F#7 E B
Take a look at these hard working hands
