...GRANDMA'S HANDS... by Bill Withers
---------------------................
*from 'Just As I Am' (1971)*
 
[Intro]
Em
 Mmm-mm-mm, mmm-mm-mm.
 
[Verse 1]
Em
 Grandma's hands, clapped in church on Sunday morning,
                          B7
Grandma's hands, played a tambourine so well.
Em
 Grandma's hands, used to issue out a warning, she'd say;
B7                A7          B7               A7
 "Billy don't you run so fast; might fall on a piece of glass,
B7                      A7              Em
 "Might be snakes there in that grass", Grandma's hands.
 
[Verse 2]
Em
 Grandma's hands, soothed a local un-wed mother,
                         B7
Grandma's hands, used to ache sometimes and swell.
Em
 Grandma's hands, used to lift her face and tell her;
B7              A7          B7               A7
 "Baby, Grandma understands, that you really love that man,
B7               A7             Em
 Put yourself in Jesus' hands", Grandma's hands.
 
[Verse 3]
Em
 Grandma's hands, used to hand me piece of candy,
                           B7
Grandma's hands, picked me up each time I fell.
Em
 Grandma's hands, boy, they really came in handy, she'd say;
B7                A7            B7                A7
 "Matty don't you whip that boy, what you want to spank him for?
B7                 A7                 B7                 A7
 He didn't drop no apple core", but I don't have Grandma any more.
B7                   A7             Em
 If I get to Heaven, I'll look for, Grandma's hands.
 
[Outro]
Em
 Mmm-mm-mm.
