DADDY�S HANDS
By Holly Dunn
Key: D
-5 6 -6* -6* -6* -6* -6*
I re-mem-ber dad-dy’s hands
6 -5 6 6 6 -5 -6*
Fold-ed si-lent-ly in prayer
6 6 -5 -5 5* -5 -4
and reach-ing out to hold me
-5 -5 -5 6 -6* 6
when I had a night-mare
-5 6 -6* -6* -6*-6* 6
you could read quite a sto-ry
-5 -5 6 6 6 -5 -6*
in the cal-lous-es and lines
6 -5 -5 -5 -5 -3
years of work and wor-ry
-5 -5 5* -4 5* -5
had left their mark be-hind
|-5 -7 -9 |-10* 11�| -10*11-10*-9 10-10*109* |
|-9�-6*7-7 |-9
-5 6 -6* -6* -6* -6* -6*
I re-mem-ber dad-dy’s hands
6 -5 6 6 6 -5 -6*
how they held my mom-ma tight
6 6 -5 -5 5* -5 -5 6 -6* 6
and pat-ted my back for some-thing done right
-5 6 -6* -6* -6* -6* -6* 6
there are things that I’ve for-got-ten
-5 -5 6 6 6 -5 -6*
that I loved a-bout the man
6 6 6 -5 -5 -5 -3
but I’ll al-ways re-mem-ber
-5 -5 5* -4 5* -5
the love in dad-dy’s hands
|-5 -7 -9 |-10* 11�| -10*11-10*-9 10-10*109* |
|-9�-6*7-7 |-9
-6* -7 -7 -5 -6* -7 -8
Dad-dy’s hands were soft and kind
-8 -8 -7 -7 -6*
when I was cry-ing
-6* -7 -7 -5 -6* -7 7
Dad-dy’s hands were hard as steel
7 -6* -5 6
when I’d done wrong
-6 6 -5 -5 -5 6 6 -6*
Dad-dy’s hands weren’t al-ways gen-tle
-6* 6 -5 -4 -5 -6* 6
but I’ve come to un-der-stand
-5 6 -6* 7 -6* -5 6 5* -5
there was al-ways love in dad-dy’s hands
-5 6 -6* -6* -6* -6* -6*
I re-mem-ber dad-dy’s hands
6 6 6 -5 -6*
Work-ing til they bled
6 -5 -5 5* -5 -5 -4
Sac-ri-ficed un-self-ish-ly
-5 -5 -5 6 -6* 6
just to keep us all fed
6 -6* -6* -6* -6* -6* 6
If I could do things ov-er,
6 6 6 6 -5 -6*
I’d live my life a-gain
6 6 -5 -5 -5 -5 -3
and nev-er take for grant-ed
-5 -6*6-5-4-3 -5 6 5* 6-5
the love in dad-dy’s hands
