Daddy's Hands
     by Holly Dunn

Intro   A  E  F#m  D  A  E -  A  E  D  A  E  A

Verse 1
    A                           E
I remember daddy's hands folded silently in prayer
    F#m             D               A          E
And reachin' out to hold me, when I had a nightmare
          A                         E
You could read quite a story in the callous' and lines
D                 A         E                 A
Years of work and worry had left their mark behind

Verse 2
    A                             E
I remember daddy's hands how they held my mama tight
    F#m       D        A              E
And patted my back for something done right
          A                                E
There are things that I'd forgotten that I loved about the man
         D        A          E               A
But I'll always remember the love in daddy's hands

CHORUS
        A                   D               A
Daddy's hands were soft and kind when I was cryin'
        C#m  F#m               Bm                  E
Daddy's hands     were hard as steel when I'd done wrong
        A                                    D            B
Daddy's hands weren't always gentle but I've come to understand
          A D    A       E       A
There was always love in daddy's hands.

Verse 3
    A                    E
I remember daddy's hands workin' 'til they bled
F#m          D                 A           E
Sacrifised unselfishly just to keep us all fed
   A                           E
If I could do things over, I'd live my life again
    D              A           E               A
And never take for granted the love in daddy's hands
