Grandma’s Hands – Meg Mac
(could be easier to play with capo 3 - transpose these chords down 3 semi tones)
(no chords)
Grandma's hands clapped in church on Sunday morning,
Grandma's hands played the tambourine so well
Oh, grandma's hands used to issue out a warning,
She'd say 'Billy, don't you run so fast, 
you might fall on a piece of glass,
there might be snakes there in that grass, Grandma's hands.
Ooooo-aGmaah, 
GmGrandma's hands clapped in church on Sunday morning,
Fadd9Grandma's hands played the tDsus4ambourine so well
Oh, Ebmaj7grandma's hands used to issue out a warning,
She'd say Dm'Billy, don't you run so fast, 
Ebmaj7you might fall on a piece of glass,
Cm7There might be snakes there in that grass, GGmrandma's hands
Ooooo-aGmaah, 
GmGrandma's hands sooth the local unwed mother, 
CmGrandma's hands used to Dache sometimes and swell 
Oh, Ebmaj7Grandma's hands used to C/Elift the girl and tell her
She'd say F'Oh, baby grandma understands 
Dmthat you really loved that man
G#Put yourself in Jesus hands', GmGrandma's hands
GmOoooo-aaah, Ooooo-aaah, Ooooo-aaah, Ooooo-aaah, Ooooo-aaah, Ooooo-aaah
