[intro:]
D


[verse1:]
       D                          A
I remember Daddy?s hands, folded silently in prayer
     
     Bm7               G             D              A
and reaching out to hold me, when I had a nightmare.

           D                          A
You could read quite a story, in the callouses and lines;

G                    D       A                  D     
years of work and worry had left their mark behind. 



[verse2:]
      D                             A
I remember Daddy?s hands, how they held my Mama tight,

    Bm7           G        D                 A
and patted my back, for something done right.

          D                                   A
There are things that I?ve forgotten, that I loved about the man,

          G         D          A               D
but I?ll always remember the love in Daddy?s hands.



[chorus:]
D
Daddy's hands
  
             G                D
were soft and kind when I was cryin?.
  
         F#m    Bm7
Daddy?s hands,

              G                   A
were hard as steel when I?d done wrong.

          D
Daddy?s hands, weren?t always gentle 

          G             E
But I?ve come to understand.

          D  G    D/F#   A7/E     D
There was always love in Daddy?s hands.



[verse3:]
     D                     A
I remember Daddy?s hands, working 'til they bled.

Bm7              G               D               A
Sacrificed unselfishly, just to keep us all fed.

               D                A
If I could do things over, I?d live my life again.

    G                    D      A              D
And never take for granted the love in Daddy?s hands.


[chorus:]
D
Daddy's hands
  
             G                D
were soft and kind when I was cryin?.
  
         F#m    Bm7
Daddy?s hands,

              G                   A
were hard as steel when I?d done wrong.

          D
Daddy?s hands, weren?t always gentle 

          G             E
But I?ve come to understand.

          D  G    D/F#   A7/E     D
There was always love in Daddy?s hands.


[chorus (again):] >>>sung a cappella until ***

D
Daddy's hands
  
             G                D
were soft and kind when I was cryin?.
  
         F#m    Bm7
Daddy?s hands,

              G                   A     ***
were hard as steel when I?d done wrong.

          D
Daddy?s hands, weren?t always gentle 

          G             E
But I?ve come to understand.

          D  G    D/F#      Asus4
There was always love...

A             D
 In Daddy?s hands.
