Daddy's Hands
     by Holly Dunn

Intro   	D  A G Bm D A- D Bm D A D

Verse 1
    D                           A
I remember daddy's hands folded silently in prayer
        Bm                            D          A
And reachin' out to hold me, when I had a nightmare
          D                         A
You could read quite a story in the callous' and lines
Bm                 G         A                 D
Years of work and worry had left their mark behind

Verse 2
    D                                           A
I remember daddy's hands how they held my mama tight
    Bm           D                     A
And patted my back for something done right
       D                                       A                          
there are things that I'd forgotten that I loved about the man
        Bm          G       A                   D
But I'll always remember the love in daddy's hands

CHORUS
                 D                            Bm                         D 
Daddy's hands were soft and kind when I was cryin'
                 A                                Bm                          A
Daddy's hands     were hard as steel when I'd done wrong
        D                                       Bm                                           A
Daddy's hands weren't always gentle but I've come to understand
             D     Bm      D           A        D
There was always love in daddy's hands.

Verse 3
    D                    A
I remember daddy's hands workin' 'til they bled
G                  Bm                       D             A
Sacrifised unselfishly just to keep us all fed
 D                                            A
If I could do things over, I'd live my life again
    Bm              D          A               D
And never take for granted the love in daddy's hands
