Biography:

John Hiatt (born on August 20, 1952 in Indianapolis, Indiana, U.S.) is an American blues and rock guitarist, pianist, and singer-songwriter. He has been nominated for eleven Grammy Awards. Hiatt's sales have never quite matched his reputation.

INTRO: E A B E A B

//// //// //// //

E A B
You were dreamin' on a park bench by the broad highway somewhere

E A B
When music from the carilon it seemed to hurl your heart out there

E A B
Past the scientific darkness, past the fireflies that float

E A B
To an angel bending down to wrap you in her warmest coat

CHORUS

G#m7
And you ask, "What am I not doing?"

F#maj7
She says, "Your voice cannot command."

B7sus
She says, "In time, you will move mountains,

B7 E
and it will co-------ome through your hands."

E A B
Still you argue for an option, still you angle for your case

E A B
Like you wouldn't know a burnin' bush if it blew up in your face

E A B
Yeah, we scheme about the future as we dream about the past
E A B
When just a simple reachin' out might build a bridge that lasts

CHORUS,

then:
BREAK: G F#maj7 Emin7 A7sus4 A7

//// //// //// //// //// //// //// ////

Yeeaahhh eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

E A B
So whatever your hands find to do, go on and do it with all your heart

E A B
There are thoughts enough to blow men's minds and tear great worlds apart

E A B
There's a healin' touch to find you out on that broad highway somewhere

E A B
To lift you high like music flyin through the angel's hair.

G#m7
Don't ask what you are not doing

F#maj7
Because your voice cannot command

B7sus
You see, in time, we will move mountains

B7
And it will come through --

--no chord-------- E A B E A B
Right through your hands. //// //// //

E A B
Through your hands //// //// //

E A (slow & fade on A, then end on E)
Through your haaannnnddss....
