_ _ [F#] _ _ _ [B] _
while it [F#] rained [C#] I washed the [D#m] jars [B] Then I lit a [F#] _ flame [C#] and set the water [F#] to starve
And at the end of the day I lined [C#] up the cool [D#m] and sealed
Twelve [B] pints of spiced [F#] peach jam Twenty jars of dew beans canned
From [B] an old [F#] recipe _ that my [C#] mother gave to [F#] me
Because it's good to put a little bit by When [C#] the lake [D#m] snows fly
All that [F#] love so neatly canned by the work [B] of our _ [C#] _ _ _ [F#]
hands

_ [F#] _ They lay [B] hands on boards [F#] and bricks _ [C#] And loud [D#m] machines _ [F#] with shovels and rakes
_ [C#] Buckets of soap [F#] they clean And I believe that we should bless
Every shirt [C#]
ironed [D#m] and pressed Salute the crews [B] out on the [F#] roads
Those who stock [C#] shelves and carry [F#] loads Whisper thanks [B] to the brooms [F#] and saws
Dirty boots [C#] and [F#] coveralls Bow my head to the waitress [A#m] and nurse
Tip my hat [C#] to the farmer [D#m] and clerk All those saints [B] with skillets [F#] and pans
And the work [D#] of the hands [C#] _ The [F#] work of the hands

Lay down [A#m] on the counter [F#m] Pulled up out [G#] of hot _ [B] water
The [A#m] work of our hands [A] so faithful [G#m] and true _ [G#] _
_ I _ _ _ _ [F#] make something barely there
Music [C#] is a little more [D#m] than air So [B] now every [F#] year
I put my [C#] tomatoes in [F#]
pairs Boil the lids and wipe the lid
[C#] With a calloused _ [D#m]
fingertip And I [B] swear by the winter [F#] ground
We'll open one and pass the thing around Let the light catch the jar
Ever [C#] gold as a [F#] falling star So humble and physical _
It's only [C#] love made [D#m] visible _ [B] Hell, I [F#] understand
It's just the [B] work of our _ [F] _
hands
