The Strong Hand

G               D
January and the air is cold
A                         Bm     
It's been a while since I heard 
   A          G
my mother's tone
                   D
Yet I know when I need her most
    Bm         A           G
She lends me her shoulder
            D                 A
Carries my grief like hidden sin
                Bm                
Even through the times I wouldn't 
A         G
let her in
                         D         
Now I'll never make the same 
      A
mistake ever again

                        Em
Sometimes it takes the strong hand
                   G               
Of a kind-hearted mother to make a 
  D
weak man
                   B7              
Dig down deep and find the strength
     Em
 from somewhere
G                           
To withstand more than he can 
   D         A     D
without her care

G                 D
Lately I've been calling home
A                Bm             
Speaking to my brothers on the 
A   G
phone
     D
And we laugh as we're looking back
Bm      A        G
Over our shoulder
              D                    
Laughing 'bout games that we played
     A
 to win
              Bm                  
And how we wouldn't let each other
A   G
 in

mistakes Ever again

G

     D       A     D
without his care

G                               D
It's hard to think there was a 
                   A
time when I believed I
       Bm    A          G
Would never see a future
              D              A   D
Now I can't see anything clearer

G               D
So tonight I'm coming home
A                           Bm
Can't bear to think of you lying 
     A        G
there alone
                       D
Stroke your hair and I'll kiss your 
back
               Bm    A         G
Then right up over your shoulder
              D                    
Dive into your world like it's 
  A
gonna end
           Bm            A    
Like I may never get the chance 
      G
again
                     D          
Everybody needs somebody on whom 
               A
they can depend
