Bill Withers - Grandma's Hands

It's an incredible song, here performed live and even better for that.


Em-Grandma's hands
Clapped in church on Sunday morning
Grandma's hands
Em-Played a A-tambourine so well
Grandma's hands
Used to issue out a warning
She'd say, A-"Billy don't you G-run so fast
A-Might fall on a G-piece of glass
A-"Might be snakes there in that G-grass"
Em-Grandma's hands

Grandma's hands
Soothed a local unwed mother
Grandma's hands
Used to ache sometimes and swell
Grandma's hands
Used to lift her face and tell her,
"Baby, Grandma understands
That you really love that man
Put yourself in Jesus hands"
Grandma's hands

Grandma's hands
Used to hand me piece of candy
Grandma's hands
Picked me up each time I fell
Grandma's hands
Boy, they really came in handy
She'd say, "Matty don' you whip that boy
What you want to spank him for?
He didn' drop no apple core"
But I don't have Grandma anymore

A-If I get to Heaven G- I'll look for
Em-Grandma's hands
