Chord/Tab song: The Hand That Rocks the Cradle

Capo 2

intro C G C C

[C]He got here and [C7]wrinkled scared and [F]cryin'
The she [C]took him up and held him to her [G]breast
And he [C]sure was glad to [G]get what [C]mama [F]offered
Then he [C]went to sleep and [G]put his fears to [C]rest

[C]It didn't seem to [C7]matter what he [F]needed
[C]He could always count on mama to [G]supply
And [C]regardless of the [G]sleep she [C]might be [F]losin'
He [C]always found a [G]twinkle in her [C]eye

[F]There ought to be a [G]hall of fame for [C]mamas
[F]Creation's most [G]unique and precious [C]pearls
[F]And heaven help us [G]always to [C]remem[F]ber
That the [Dm]hand that rocks the [G]cradle rules the [C]world

She taught him all the attributes of greatness
That she knew he couldn't learn away from home
And by the time she wore the coxer off her bible
Her hair was gray and her little man was gone

There ought to be a hall of fame for mamas
Creation's most unique and precious pearls
And heaven help us always to remember
That the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world

Yes, the [F]hand that rocks the [G]cradle rules the [C]world
