[Verse 1]
      A                                      C#m
These hands have seen the struggles, they've weathered every storm
D                                     A
Helped me crawl and taught me how to fight
     A                                C#m
Been steady and they've shaken, done alot of late night praying
          D
You could say they've done alot and you'd be right


[Chorus]
            F#m                        D
But they've never parted waters, never made the blind to see
      F#m                           D
Never turned the water into wine or been nailed to a tree
       A                                F#m
Oh but someday when they fold 'em and I finally breath my last
                                  E                   D
That's when these hands are gonna hold the hands that have
      F#m             E                   A     D
These hands are gonna hold the hands that have


[Verse 2]
      A                          C#m
These hands held onto mama, when she was letting go
         D                                   A
And I've raised 'em high to a sunday morning song
        A                                C#m
They've held a beat up Bible and they've fought for my survival
            D
And they've tried to do more right than they've done wrong


[Chorus]
            F#m                        D
But they've never parted waters, never made the blind to see
      F#m                           D
Never turned the water into wine or been nailed to a tree
       A                                F#m
Oh but someday when they fold 'em and I finally breath my last
                                  E                   D     E
That's when these hands are gonna hold the hands that have


[Bridge]
Bm
I know they're not perfect
       F#m
I know they're not even close
D
Sometimes it's hard to believe that He can use them even though


[Chorus 2]
        F#m                                D
They've never fed five thousand, wiped the tears from mary's face
              F#m
They've never saved a soul or made them whole
   D
Or rolled the stone away
       A                                F#m
Oh but someday when they fold 'em and I finally breath my last
                                  E                   D
That's when these hands are gonna hold the hands that have
      F#m             E                   A      D
These hands are gonna hold the hands that have


[Outro]
                               Bm   A
These hands are gonna hold the haaaaaands that have
       D
(These hands) are gonna hold the hands that have
