These Hands
These Bhands ain't the F#7hands of a Bgentleman 
These hands are F#7calloused and Bold
These hands raised a Eb7family these Ehands built a Bhome
Now these G#mhands raised to C#7praise the F#7Lord
These Bhands won the hF#7eart of my Bloved one 
And with hers thF#7ey were never Balone
If these hands filled Eb7their task tEhen what more Bcould one ask
For these G#mfingers have worC#7ked to the F#7bone
Now don't Btry to Eb7judge me by what Eyou'd like me Bbe
For my life hasn't F#7been much suBccess
While some Bpeople have Eb7power but Estill they Bgrieve
While these G#mhands brought me C#7happiF#7ness
Now I'm Btired and I'm F#7old and I hBaven’t much gold
Maybe things ain't been Eb7all that I Eplanned
God above hear my Fdimplea when it's Btime to F#7judge Bme
Take a look at these F#7hard working G#mhandsC#  
Take a Blook at these F#7hard working EhandsB
