Key: G
Introduction:
G Bm C D
I've seen the hands of laborers that lifted all the loads
G Bm C D
And the granite stuck to their fingers as they dug the canals and the roads
Em Bm
Now they're cleared and the bridges span
C D
The river paused for a power dam
G Bm C D
And now the hand of the laborer is reaching out to you
G Em C D G Em
Oh the hands hands hands that worked to build land, land, your land
D G Em C D G
The labor of the woman and the man workin' with their hands
Hands, hands, hands a-workin' with their hands
