_ [F] _ _ _ _ [A#] _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ My daddy's [A#] hands held tens and [C] twos while mom was [F] holding me
And daddy's hand [A#] lost everything [C] to a hand of [F] kings and threes
_ And daddy's hands [A#] they shook so bad [C] that he turned [F] to wine

_ [C#] Yes, _ [D#m] _
[C#] _ [F#] mama's hands [B] held on to mine [C#] to guide me day [F#] and night
And it did the sting [B] of mama's hands [C#] to teach me wrong [F#] from right _
When times were [B] bad and money slim, [C#] she'd fold her hands [F#] and pray _
And somehow she [B] would make the food [C#] hold out [F#] another day
Mama's _ _ _ [B] _ _
hands [F#] are cold with age, [B] they tremble [C#] _
[F#] as she _ prays
[B] But her voice is [F#] strong as she thanks God [G#] for all the [C#] bygone _ [D#m] [C#] days
[F#] She looks at me [B] and she [C#] smiles, she knows I [F#] understand
