Old Calloused Hands Chords by Hazel Dickens

[Em] _ [E] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ [B] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ If you don't think she's had it [A] hard, my friend, _
[B] just take a look at where this [E] woman's been. _
Take a look at her old worn out [A] calloused hand. _
[B] Take a look at loneliness that [E] never ends.
[B] Old calloused hands don't bring [E] you much cheer. _
[F#] When they're ought to show for [B] bygone years, those years,
[E] a few kind words of [A] song to draw near.
[B] But her hard times didn't leave [E] such souvenirs. _
_ [B] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
Well, she worked hard and slaved [A] her life away
for [B] her husband and for [E] her family. _
Now she's shoved aside like some [A] old worn out shoe. _
_ [B] That's her reward for all [E] that she's been through.
Old [B] calloused hands don't [E] bring you much cheer. _
[F#] When they're ought to show [B] for bygone years, those [E] years,
a few kind words of [A] song to draw near.
[B] But her hard times didn't leave [E] such souvenirs. _
Her tears you'll never see [A] neath all that pride. _
[B] And the things she longed hoped for, [E] she put aside. _
I look at her or her, [A] and I cry _ [B] to thank how many times
that [E] woman died. _
[B] Old calloused hands don't [E] bring you much cheer.
[F#] When they're ought to show for [B] bygone years, those [E] years,
a few kind words of love song [A] to draw near.
[B] But her hard times didn't leave [E] such souvenirs. _
_ [B] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
[B] Old calloused hands don't bring [E] you much cheer. _
[F#] When you're left behind like all the [B] forgotten years,
those years, [E] a few kind words of love song [A] to draw near. _
[B] But her hard times didn't leave [E] such souvenirs. _
