<< Back to Bill Withers Song List

Version 1 Version 2 Version 3

            [Verse 1]

Em
Grandma's hands
Em
Clapped in church on Sunday morning
Em
Grandma's hands
Em       B
Played a tambourine so well
Em
Grandma's hands
Used to issue out a warning
Em        B                A
She'd say, "Billy don't you run so fast
B               A
Might fall on a piece of glass
B                              A
"Might be snakes there in that grass"
Em
Grandma's hands


[Verse 2]

Em
Grandma's hands
Em
Soothed a local unwed mother
Em
Grandma's hands
Em      B
Used to ache sometimes and swell
Em
Grandma's hands
Em
Used to lift her face and tell her,
B              A
"Baby, Grandma understands
B               A
That you really love that man
B               A
Put yourself in Jesus hands"
Em
Grandma's hands


[Verse 3]

Em
Grandma's hands
Em
Used to hand me piece of candy
Em
Grandma's hands
Em         B
Picked me up each time I fell
Em
Grandma's hands
Em
Boy, they really came in handy
Em          B              A
She'd say, "Matty don' you whip that boy
B                A
What you want to spank him for?
B                A
He didn' drop no apple core"
B                        A
But I don't have Grandma anymore
A           G
If I get to Heaven I'll look for
Em
Grandma's hands

Notes
=================================================
[Intro]
It's nice to add the traditional three strums of E minor, palm mute, and then add the
humm on the fourth of each bar which makes this tune instantly recognizable.

(Tab)
There's a pretty good video of this tune being played by the man himself on youtube
if you fancy having a go at 'tabbing' Grandma's Hands.  It shouldn't be too hard.
