[Verse]
G                                 D
I remember Daddy´s hands, folded silently in prayer
    Em               C                G             D
And reaching out to hold me, when I had a nightmare
    G                                 D      
You could read quite a story, in the callouses and lines
C                 G             D               G
Years of work and worry had left their mark behind
G                                    D
I remember Daddy´s hands, how they held my Mama tight
     Em         C               G            D
And patted my back, for something done right
          G                                   D      
There are things that I´ve forgotten, that I loved about the man
          C          G        D                 G
But I´ll always remember the love in Daddy´s hands

[Chorus]
           G                 C                  G
Daddy's hands were soft and kind when I was cryin´
         Bm Em                C                    D
Daddy´s hands, were hard as steel when I´d done wrong
          G                                
Daddy´s hands, weren´t always gentle
           C            A
But I´ve come to understand
           G C    G        D       G
There was always love in Daddy´s hands

[Verse]
   G                          D  
I remember Daddy´s hands, working 'til they bled
     Em        C                G            D           
Sacrificed unselfishly, just to keep us all fed
     G                        D
If I could do things over, I´d live my life again
     C                G          D               G
And never take for granted the love in Daddy´s hands

[Chorus]
           G                 C                  G
Daddy's hands were soft and kind when I was cryin´
         Bm Em                 C                    D
Daddy´s hands, were hard as steel when I´d done wrong
          G                       
Daddy´s hands, weren´t always gentle
           C            A
But I´ve come to understand
           G C    G        D       G
There was always love in Daddy´s hands

         G                    C                 G
Daddy's hands were soft and kind when I was cryin´
         Bm Em                 C                    D
Daddy´s hands, were hard as steel when I´d done wrong
          G                        
Daddy´s hands, weren´t always gentle
           C           A
But I´ve come to understand
          G  C    G
There was always love .....
   D        G
In Daddy´s hands
