A THOUSAND MEMORIES
CAPO: II
[D]She was a mom back when [G]moms didn''t work
[Em]She just did the laundry and [A]brushed off the dirt
[D/F#]She cooked all the meals and [G]scrubbed all the floors
[Em]And she mowed that front yard with that [A]old push mower
[D]All of those years without the [G]help of a man
[Em]She held us together with those [A]delicate hands
CHORUS:
[D]Those hands have rocked some [D]cradl[D/F#]es
Calmed [G]many a cryin''[D] chil[D/F#]d
Set [G]ten thousand [D]supper [A]tables
[D]Now it''s time to rest those[A] hands a while
[D]Those hands have done some [G]prayin''
Worn just one [A]wedding [D]band[D/F#]
[G]Now there ain''t much time
And there [D]ain''t much[A] strength
But [D]there''s a lot of love left[A] in those han[D]ds
If I had a dime for every button she sewed
All the tears she''s dried and bedtime stories she''s told
I''d buy back the years back from old father time
Just sit here and hold her hands in mine
