[Intro]
E B E
[Verse 1]
F Bb
He's an old hand at fixing cars and bailing hay
C7 F
And there's nothing he can't do on that old farm
Bb
He's tougher than leather for a man his age
C7 F
But he's 21 when she's lying in his arms
[Verse 2]
F Bb
She's and old hand at baking bread and washing clothes
C7 F
And rocking little babies to sleep
Bb
But the calloused hands are softer than the morning rose
F C7 F
And she always seems to know just what he needs
[Chorus]
F Bb
When old hands hold hands
C7 F
With just a touch they understand
F Bb
Life and love and making plans
C7 F
'Cause they're old hands
[Instrumental]
F Bb C7 F x2
[Verse 3]
F Bb
They've pulled a load together down a long hard road
C7 F
And they both know that their journey will end
Bb
But they won't be afraid when it's their time to go
C7 F
'Cause chances are they'll just go hand in hand
Chorus (soft guitar picking)
F Bb
When old hands hold hands
C7 F
With just a touch they understand
F Bb
Life and love and making plans
C7 F
'Cause they're old hands
F Bb
Life and love and making plans
C7 F
'Cause they're old hands
Coda: F C7 Bb F
