Hand Song
INTRO: G C Em D G C Em D G C Em D
VERSE 1:
B C
The boy only wanted to give Mother something
G D
And all of her roses had bloomed.
B C
Looking at her as he came rushing in with them
G D
Knowing her roses were doomed,
Am B Em
All she could see were some thorns buried deep
Am B Em D
And tears that were cried as she tended his wounds
CHORUS:
G C Em D
And she knew it was love
G C Em D
It was one she could understand
G C
He was showing his love,
Em D G C Em D
And that's how he hurt his hands.
VERSE 2:
B C
He still remembers that night as child
G D
On his mother's knee
B C
She held him close and she opened her bible
G D
And quietly started to read,
Am B Em
And seeing a picture of Jesus he cried out,
Am B Em D
"Momma, he's got some scars just like me."
CHORUS:
G C Em D
And he knew it was love
G C Em D
It was one he could understand
G C
He was showing his love,
Em D G C Em D
And that's how he hurt his hands.
VERSE 3:
B C
Now the boy's grown and moved out on his own
G D
When Uncle Sam comes along.
B C
A foreign affair, but our young men were there
G D
And luck had his number drawn.
Am B Em
It wasn't that long till our hero was gone
Am B Em D
He gave to a friend what he learned from the cross.
CHORUS:
G C Em D
And they knew it was love
G C Em D
It was one they could understand
G C
He was showing his love,
Em D G C Em D
And that's how he hurt his hands.
