Grandma's Hand's Ukulele

(ver. 1)
Bill Withers
...GRANDMA'S HANDS... by Bill Withers
---------------------................

*from 'Just As I Am' (1971)*


Intro:

Am
 Mmm-mm-mm, mmm-mm-mm.

Verse 1:

Am
 Grandma's hands, clapped in church on Sunday morning,
                          E7
Grandma's hands, played a tambourine so well.
Am
 Grandma's hands, used to issue out a warning, she'd say;
E7                D7          E7               D7
 "Billy don't you run so fast; might fall on a piece of glass,
E7                      D7              Am
 "Might be snakes there in that grass", Grandma's hands.

Verse 2:

Am
 Grandma's hands, soothed a local un-wed mother,
                         E7
Grandma's hands, used to ache sometimes and swell.
Am
 Grandma's hands, used to lift her face and tell her;
E7              D7          E7               D7
 "Baby, Grandma understands, that you really love that man,
E7               D7             Am
 Put yourself in Jesus' hands", Grandma's hands.

Verse 3:

Am
 Grandma's hands, used to hand me piece of candy,
                           E7
Grandma's hands, picked me up each time I fell.
Am
 Grandma's hands, boy, they really came in handy, she'd say;
E7                D7            E7                D7
 "Matty don't you whip that boy, what you want to spank him for?
E7                 D7                 E7                 D7
 He didn't drop no apple core", but I don't have Grandma any more.
E7                   D7             Am
 If I get to Heaven, I'll look for, Grandma's hands.

Outro:

Am
 Mmm-mm-mm.
