Verse 1
[F]He's an old hand at fixing cars and b[Bb]ailing hay
And there's no[C7]thing he can't do on that old farm[F]
He's tougher than leather for a man his age[Bb]
But he's 21 when[C7] she's lying in his arms[F]
Verse 2
[F]She's and old hand at baking bread and washing clothes[Bb]
And roc[C7]king little babies to sleep[F]
But the calloused hands are softer than the morning rose[Bb]
And she a[F]lways seems to know just [C7]what he needs[F]
Chorus
[F]When old hands hold han[Bb]ds
[C7]With just a touch they understa[F]nd
[F]Life and love and making plans[Bb]
[C7] 'Cause they're old hands[F]
Instrumental: F Bb C7 F x2
Verse 3
[F]They've pulled a load together down a long hard road[Bb]
And [C7]they both know that their journey will end[F]
But they won't be afraid when it's their time to go[Bb]
'Cause chance[C7]s are they'll just go hand in hand[F]
Chorus (soft guitar picking)
[F]When old hands hold han[Bb]ds
[C7]With just a touch they understa[F]nd
[F]Life and love and making plans[Bb]
[C7] 'Cause they're old hands[F]
[F]Life and love and making plans[Bb]
[C7] 'Cause they're old hands[F]
