Rhett Akins - Those Hands
CAPO: 2nd Fret
DShe was a mom back when Gmoms didn't work
EmShe just did the laundry and Abrushed off the dirt
D/F#She cooked all the meals and Gscrubbed all the floors
EmAnd she mowed that front yard with that Aold push mower
DAll of those years without the Ghelp of a man
EmShe held us together with those Adelicate hands
CHORUS:
DThose hands have rocked some DcradlD/F#es
Calmed Gmany a cryin' DchildD/F#  
Set Gten thousand Dsupper Atables
DNow it''s time to rest those Ahands a while
DThose hands have done some Gprayin'
Worn just one Awedding DbandD/F#  
GNow there ain''t much time
And there Dain't much Astrength
But Dthere''s a lot of love left Ain those hanDds
If I had a dime for every button she sewed
All the tears she''s dried and bedtime stories she''s told
I''d buy back the years back from old father time
Just sit here and hold her hands in mine
CHORUS:
DThose hands have rocked some DcradlD/F#es
Calmed Gmany a cryin' DchildD/F#  
Set Gten thousand Dsupper Atables
DNow it''s time to rest those Ahands a while
DThose hands have done some Gprayin'
Worn just one Awedding DbandD/F#  
GNow there ain''t much time
And there Dain't much Astrength
But Dthere''s a lot of love left Ain those hanDds
