Sara Storer    Tell These Hands

 C majorC           FF
Mum and Dad are home, sitting round the table,
 C majorC                G+G
Dad’s got his face buried in his hands
   C majorC              FF
I’ve never seen Dad cry, didn’t think that he was able,
 C majorC                G+G
Gravel on the drive washed away again
      FF            C majorC
And with skin off his fingers, the rain’s still coming down
 FF                C majorC         G+G
Another week just waiting, as he looks down at his hands

     C majorC      FF         C majorC       FF
Tell the rain to stop falling, tell the banks to stop calling,
     C majorC             FF      G+G   G7G7
Tell the politicians where they can, put their plans
     C majorC       FF        C majorC        FF
Tell the day to hold on longer, tell our sons we can’t be bothered
     C majorC          FF       G+G
And then tell these hands to give up on the land
 G+G (hold)         C majorC    FF    C majorC    G+G
Tell,   tell  these  hands

 C majorC              FF
Better take a look,  rain might be gone by morning
     C majorC                G+G
Are you coming for a drive, we won’t be long?
 C majorC                FF
Arm out of the window,  “Giving In” on the radio,
 C majorC                G+G
Funny how that rain can’t keep us in
      FF           C majorC
And with skin off his fingers, still the rain comes down,
     FF                C majorC         G+G
They’re driving through the inches on a track of flooded ground

     C majorC      FF         C majorC       FF
Tell the rain to stop falling, tell the banks to stop calling,
     C majorC             FF      G+G   G7G7
Tell the politicians where they can, put their plans
     C majorC       FF        C majorC        FF
Tell the day to hold on longer, tell our sons we can’t be bothered
     C majorC          FF       G+G
And then tell these hands to give up on the land
 G+G (hold)      C majorC   FF          C majorC
Tell, tell these hands,  go on and tell these hands,
 FF        C majorC   FF       C majorC  (hold)

THE END!
