G
[Verse 1]
G
Today Granddad came by the office
C
Amazed at all the papers that I sign
G
I told him that's how we do business
C
I'm just a product of the modern times
He shook his head and then said
D C
I don't understand how all these deals are done
It just don't make no sense to me
D
To deal with people you don't see
C D C D Dsus
We did it so much differently when I was young
[Chorus]
C G
When the shake of a hand
D G
Was all you really needed
C G D Dsus D
The strength of a man was in his words
C G
When you could look him in the eye
D G D Em
And know just where you stand
C D G
Men were made on the shake of a hand
[Verse 2]
G
Well I put down my pen down and closed up early
C
We drank a beer and talked of times he's had
G
He reminisced when he proposed to Nanna
C
And how he got permission from her dad
He smiled and said I won't forget
D C
The hardest hand I ever had to shake
I told him I'd take care of her
D
And through the years I kept my word
C D C D Dsus
Son we said just what we meant back in those days
[Chorus]
C G
When the shake of a hand
D G
Was all you really needed
C G D Dsus D
The strength of a man was in his words
C G
When you could look him in the eye
D G D Em
And know just where you stand
C D G
Men were made on the shake of a hand
[Instrumental]
C D C C D Am D C D Dsus D
[Chorus]
C G
The shake of a hand
D G
Was all you really needed
C G D Dsus D
The strength of a man was in his word
C G
When you could look him in the eye
D G D Em
And know just where you stand
C D Em
Men were made on the shake of a hand
C D Dsus D G
Oh Men were made on the shake of a hand
