Chords for Dolly Parton Holly Dunn - Daddys Hands on The Dolly Show 1987/88 (Ep 12, Pt 7)

_ So good that I'm gonna ask you to sit down here and let me sing a song with you
I was serious a while ago when I
Introduced you and said that you were one of the better things to come along in country music in a lot of years
I appreciate it
And if I could say something in front of God and everybody I'd like to thank you for being such an inspiration to a lot
Of us newcomers and as a songwriter and a businesswoman and just an all-around swell gal.
I appreciate it
I appreciate that _ _ _ _
But you know _ _ common and you just have this real sweet way about you
But maybe that's because we both were brought up in the Church of God and your daddy is a preacher
And my granddaddy's a preacher now.
What was it like for you being a preacher's kid?
Well, it was alright
They just expected me to be perfect.
Yeah, cuz if you [G] didn't the whole congregation would know it, right?
That's right.
No, [E] I didn't talk about it
Well, that's the way it goes
[N] And I also know a lot of people that grow up in the church have a certain kind of feel that they have in their
Singing and I really think you've got a lot of emotion a lot of warmth a lot of goodness and you had a song out
recently that's one of my favorite country songs not just of yours, but of anybody's and
When you said you was going to come on be on the show when I asked you you said you'd come only if I would
Agree to sing this song with you.
That's right.
So we're going to do daddy's hands right now
I can't do it justice like you but I appreciate you
_ Okay, _ _ so [Eb] you boys are ready here we go _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
I
remember daddy's hands
[Bb] folded silently in prayer
[C] And reaching [Ab] out to home
[Eb] When I had a [Bb] nightmare
_ You [Eb] couldn't read quite a story in [Bb] the canvases and lines
[Ab] Years of [Eb] work and worry
[Bb] And left their mark [Eb] behind
_ And I remember daddy's hands how [Bb] they held my mama tight
[Cm] And patted my [Ab] back
[Eb] Or something done, [Bb] right?
_ There [Eb] are things that I've forgotten
that [Bb] I loved about man, but [Ab] I always will [Eb] remember [Ab] all the
love in [Eb] daddy's hands _
daddy's hands
are [Ab] soft and kind while [Eb] he's crying [Gm] daddy's [Cm] hands
Were [Fm] hard to steal when [Bb] I've been wrong
_ [Eb] Daddy's hands were always gentle but [Ab] I've come to [F] understand
There [Eb] was always love in daddy's hands _ _ _ _
_ _ _ I
Remember daddy's hands
[Bb] work until they bled
[Cm] Sacrifice [Ab] themselves [Eb] just to keep us all
[Bb] _ If [Eb] I
_ _ [Bb] Live my life again
[Ab] And never take [Eb] for granted
[Ab] the love in [Eb] daddy's hands
Daddy's hands
are soft [Ab] and kind while [Eb] he's crying
[Gm] daddy's [Cm] hands
Were hard [Fm] to steal when I've [Bb] been wrong
_ [Eb] Daddy's hands were always gentle but [Ab] I've come to [F] understand
_ There was always love in [Eb] daddy's hands daddy's hands
[Bb]
were soft and kind when I [Bb] was crying daddy's hands
[Cm]
Were hard to steal when I've [Gm] been wrong
