The riffs during the intro and verse are tabbed out at the top, but strumming Em works if you just want to focus on the vocals. The guitar is minimal on the original recording and there is considerable room for creative liberty. Not a hard song, but it is fun.Was this info helpful?

Grandma's hands clapped in church on Sunday morning

Grandma's hands played a tambourine so well

Grandma's hands used to issue out a warning
Em9        B7               A7
She'd say, "Billy don't you run so fast
B7              A7
Might fall on a piece of glass
B7              A7
Might be snakes there in that grass,"

That you really loved that man

Put yourself in Jesus' hands."

If I get to heaven I'll look for
