My Grandpas Hands(Chords)

	        
verse 1 
D                               A 
My Grandpa rode this yellow plain 
            G                   D 
He told the sky when to make it rain 
                  Em 
And he taught the lightening 
       Bm       A              G 
How to turn the night into the day 
             D                    A 
And he would make the cloud ships form 
          G               D 
Then he'd escape into the storm 
            Em              Bm 
Then he'd reappear striking fear 
   A               G 
In every soldier's heart  


D                        G      D        A 
South of Rocky Ford on a sea of sand and grass 
                          D 
With no sign of island or shore 
G              D           A         G  
There lies the grave of my Grandpa's hands 


verse 2 
D                              A 
When he let them have their way 
             G                   D 
They divided him seven different ways 
               Em 
So afraid were they 
         Bm    A                    G 
He would rise again and strike them down 

verse 3 
                D               A 
Seven different soldiers acting alone 
                G                    D 
Seven different graves whereabouts unknown 
             Em              Bm 
And one lone soldier came to bury 
    A            G 
His hands on the grassland 

 
D                        G      D        A 
South of Rocky Ford on a sea of sand and grass 
                          D 
With no sign of island or shore 
G              D           A         G   
There lies the grave of my Grandpa's hands

verse 4 
          D                 A 
A quarter moon grows out of time 
               G                        D 
On a vanishing forest down an old fence line 
                Em 
Sweet grass and timothy 
   Bm             A                G 
As far as you can see the Comanche grasslands 


D                        G      D        A 
South of Rocky Ford on a sea of sand and grass 
                          D 
With no sign of island or shore 
G              D           A         G      
There lies the grave of my Grandpa's hands
