[Intro]
G C G D G
[Verse]
GI remember Daddy´s hands, folded sDilently in prayer
And Emreaching out to hCold me, when I haGd a nightmareD  
You Gcould read quite a story, in the cDallouses and lines
CYears of work and Gworry had left Dtheir mark behiGnd
GI remember Daddy´s hands, how they heDld my Mama tight
And pEmatted my baCck, for somethinGg done rightD  
There are Gthings that I´ve forgotten, that I lDoved about the man
But I´ll aClways rememGber the lDove in Daddy´s hanGds
[Chorus]
Daddy's hanGds were soft and kCind when I was cryiGn´
Daddy´s hBmandEms, were hard as stCeel when I´d done wroDng
Daddy´s haGnds, weren´t always gentle
But I´ve coCme to understAand
There was aGlwCays lGove in DaDddy´s haGnds
[Verse]
I rGemember Daddy´s hands, workDing 'til they bled
SacriEmficed unseClfishly, just to Gkeep us all fDed
If I Gcould do things over, I´d Dlive my life again
And nCever take for graGnted the loDve in Daddy´s haGnds
[Chorus]
Daddy's hanGds were soft and kCind when I was cryiGn´
Daddy´s hBmandEms, were hard as steCel when I´d done wronDg
Daddy´s haGnds, weren´t always gentle
But I´ve coCme to understAand
There was aGlwCays lGove in DaDddy´s haGnds
Daddy's hGands were soft and kiCnd when I was cryiGn´
Daddy´s hBmandEms, were hard as steCel when I´d done wronDg
Daddy´s haGnds, weren´t always gentle
But I´ve coCme to undersAtand
There was GalwCays lGove .....
In DDaddy´s hGands
