...GRANDMA'S HANDS... by Bill Withers ---------------------................ *from 'Just As I Am' (1971)*
[Intro] Am Mmm-mm-mm, mmm-mm-mm.
[Verse 1] Am Grandma's hands, clapped in church on Sunday morning, E7 Grandma's hands, played a tambourine so well. Am Grandma's hands, used to issue out a warning, she'd say; E7D7E7D7 "Billy don't you run so fast; might fall on a piece of glass, E7D7Am "Might be snakes there in that grass", Grandma's hands.
[Verse 2] Am Grandma's hands, soothed a local un-wed mother, E7 Grandma's hands, used to ache sometimes and swell. Am Grandma's hands, used to lift her face and tell her; E7D7E7D7 "Baby, Grandma understands, that you really love that man, E7D7Am Put yourself in Jesus' hands", Grandma's hands.
[Verse 3] Am Grandma's hands, used to hand me piece of candy, E7 Grandma's hands, picked me up each time I fell. Am Grandma's hands, boy, they really came in handy, she'd say; E7D7E7D7 "Matty don't you whip that boy, what you want to spank him for? E7D7E7D7 He didn't drop no apple core", but I don't have Grandma any more. E7D7Am If I get to Heaven, I'll look for, Grandma's hands.
