Fm
These hands,

How I fear for these hands.

How I wonder if ever had these hands been held with compassion,
Db Bbm
Could they do what they've done,
Fm
These hands?
verse 2:

What of these eyes?

Blind with hate are these eyes.

Could it once be that someone gazed into these eyes with affection,
Dbmaj7 Db
And saw good deep within

These eyes?
verse 3:
Gbm7
And why,
Gbm7
Having tasted of vengeance,
Gbm7 Bm
Do these lips curl with madness and pain, crying in vain?
G Gbm Dm
A soul that could love is now helplessly chained to these hands!
Dm
And these ears still hear her crying,
Dm F Dm7
And will never know laughter or song, ever so long
Bb F
As blood of the innocent runs red upon these hands!
verse 4:
Fm
These detestable hands!
Fm Eb
And this terrible hide, with its poison inside,
Dm Db Bbm C
Hated limbs and foul heart, I would tear them apart,
Fm C
If I only could feel what I felt when I held her within
Fm
These hands!
Fm
Unforgiving, unmerciful hands!
Fm
These unfeeling, contemptible hands!
Db
And our end will not come
Db C
'Till justice is done,
C Fm
By this man!
Fm F
