My Grandpa's Hands – Chuck Pyle
finger-pick style instandard tuning
*emphasize 'G' chord followed by drum beat on guitar
[Verse 1]
DMy Grandpa rode this yellow plaiAn
He told the Gsky when to make it Drain
And he taught the Emlightening
How to Bmturn the Anight into the Gday
And he would Dmake the cloud ships Aform
Then he'd Gescape into the Dstorm
Then he'd reEmappear striking Bmfear
In Aevery soldier's Gheart 
[Chorus 1]
DSouth of Rocky Ford on a Gsea of Dsand and Agrass
With no sign of island or Dshore
GThere lies the Dgrave of my AGrandpa's Ghands
[Verse 2]
DWhen he let them have their wayA  
They divided Ghim seven different Dways
So afraid were Emthey
He would Bmrise aAgain and strike them Gdown
[Verse 3]
Seven different Dsoldiers acting Aalone
Seven different Ggraves whereabouts unDknown
And one lone Emsoldier came to Bmbury
His Ahands on the Ggrassland
[Chorus 1]
DSouth of Rocky Ford on a Gsea of Dsand and Agrass
With no sign of island or Dshore
GThere lies the Dgrave of my AGrandpa's Ghands
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 4]
A quarter Dmoon grows out of Atime
On a vanishing Gforest down an old fence Dline
Sweet grass and Emtimothy
As Bmfar as you can Asee the Comanche Ggrasslands
[Chorus 1]
DSouth of Rocky Ford on a Gsea of Dsand and Agrass
With no sign of island or Dshore
GThere lies the Dgrave of my AGrandpa's Ghands
