Mamas Hands

C                     F          
My daddy's hands held tens and 
    G7                       C
two's while mom's were holding me
                  F                
And daddy's hands lost everything 
    G7                C
to a hand of kings and threes
                       F           
And daddy's hands they shook so bad
 G7                C
 that he turned to wine
                      F         
But mama's hands were strong and 
         G7              C
calm as they held on to mine

                      F            
Yes mama's hands held on to mine to
 G7               C
 guide me day and night

                         F     
And it took the sting of mama's 
          G7                  C
hands to teach me wrong from right
                       F           
When times were bad and money's 
        G7                C
slim she'd fold her hands in fray
                       F           
Ands somehow she would make the 
  G7               C  C7
food hold out another day

F                    C            
Now mama's hands are cold with age
 F            G7    C
 they tremble as she prays
        F                     
But her voice is strong as she 
 C           D7             G7
thanks God for the bygone days
C                   F            
She looks at me and then she 
      G7            C
smiles she knows I understand
                  F          G7   
That everything I am today I owe 
         C
to mama's hands
             F          G7   
Everything I am today I owe to 
         C
mama's hands
