Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Dm][Dm][Dm][Dm]

[Verse 1]
[Dm]Grandma's hands
[G]Clapped in [Dm]church on Sunday [G]morning
[Dm]Grandma's hands
[G]Played a [A]tambourine so well
[Dm]Grandma's hands
[G]Used to [Dm]issue out a warning
[G]She'd [A]say, "Billy don't you [G]run so fast
[A]Might fall on a pie[G]ce of glass
[A]"Might be snakes the[G]re in that grass"
[Dm]Grandma's hands

[Verse 2]
[Dm]Grandma's hands
[G]Soothed a [Dm]local unwed [G]mother
[Dm]Grandma's hands
[G]Used to [A]ache sometimes and swell
[Dm]Grandma's hands
[G]Used to [Dm]lift her face and tell her
[G]She'd [A]say "Baby, [G]Grandma understands
[A]That you really lov[G]e that man
[A]Put yourself in Jes[G]us hands"
[Dm]Grandma's hands

[Verse 3]
[Dm]Grandma's hands
[G]Used to [Dm]hand me piece of [G]candy
[Dm]Grandma's hands
[G]Picked me [A]up each time I fell
[Dm]Grandma's hands
[G]Boy, they [Dm]really came in handy
[G]She'd [A]say, "Matty don' you [G]whip that boy
[A]What you want to spa[G]nk him for[A]?
He didn't drop no [G]apple core"
But I [A]don't have Grandma [G]anymore
[A]If I get to Heaven I'l[G]l look for
[Dm]Grandma's hands
Hmmm-mmh
