Hands Of Time tab by Margo Price

Intro

[Intro]
A augmentedA

[Verse 1]
A augmentedA
When I rolled out of town on the unpaved road
E MajorE
I was fifty-seven Dollars from being broke
A augmentedA
Kissed my mama and my sisters, I said goodbye
  G+G                  D MajorD       A augmentedA    E MajorE
And with my suitcase packed I whiped the tears from my eyes


[Verse 2]
A augmentedA
Times they were tough, growing up at home
E MajorE
My daddy lost the farm when I was two years old
A augmentedA
Took a job at the prison, working second shift
  G+G                D MajorD          A augmentedA    E MajorE
And that's the last time I let them take what should be his

[Chorus]
G+G
Cause all I wanna do is make a little cash
C majorC
Cause I worked all the bad jobs, bustin' my hands
G+G
I wanna buy back the farm and bring my mama home some wine
  D MajorD             C majorC       G+G    G#G#
And turn back the clock on the cruel hands of time


[Verse 3]
A augmentedA
When I hit the city, I joined the band
    E MajorE
Started singing in the bars and running with the men
    A augmentedA
But the men they brought me problems and the drinking caused me grief
 G+G                D MajorD      A augmentedA     E MajorE
I thought I'd found a friend but I only found a thief


[Verse 4]
A augmentedA
Soon I settled down with a married man
  E MajorE
We had a couple babies, started living off the land
  A augmentedA
But my firstborn died and I cried out to God
     G+G            D MajorD       A augmentedA     E MajorE
Is there anybody up there lookin down on me at all?

[Chorus]
G+G
Cause all I wanna do is make something last
C majorC
But I can't see the future, I can't change the past
G+G
I wanna buy back the farm and bring my mama home some wine
D MajorD             C majorC       G+G
Turn back the clock on the cruel hands of time


[Solo] (same as chorus)
G+G G MajorG C majorC C D MajorD C majorC G+G G MajorG


[Verse 5]
A augmentedA
Still I keep a'running fast as I can
     E MajorE
Trying to make something honest with my own two hands
  A augmentedA
And I ain't got the breath to say another bad word
    G+G              D MajorD        A augmentedA     E MajorE
So if I ever said it wrong won't you forget what you heard


[Chorus]
G+G
Cause all I want to do is make my own path
C majorC
Cause I know what I am, I know what I have
G+G
I want to buy back the farm and bring my mama home some wine
D MajorD             C majorC       G+G
Turn back the clock on the cruel hands of time
D MajorD   C majorC       G+G
Cruuuuuuuuel hands of time
D MajorD   C majorC       G+G
Cruuuuuuuuel hands of time
D MajorD   C majorC       G+G
