[Verse 1]
FHe's an old hand at fixing cars and bBbailing hay
And there's noC7thing he can't do on that old farmF  
He's tougher than leather for a man his ageBb  
But he's 21 when C7she's lying in his armsF  
[Verse 2]
FShe's and old hand at baking bread and washing clothesBb  
And rocC7king little babies to sleepF  
But the calloused hands are softer than the morning roseBb  
And she aFlways seems to know just C7what he needsF  
[Chorus]
FWhen old hands hold hanBbds
C7With just a touch they understaFnd
FLife and love and making plansBb  
 C7'Cause they're old handsF  
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
FThey've pulled a load together down a long hard roadBb  
And C7they both know that their journey will endF  
But they won't be afraid when it's their time to goBb  
'Cause chanceC7s are they'll just go hand in handF  
Chorus (soft guitar picking)
FWhen old hands hold hanBbds
C7With just a touch they understaFnd
FLife and love and making plansBb  
 C7'Cause they're old handsF  
FLife and love and making plansBb  
 C7'Cause they're old handsF
