– – the verse goes something like this :

G
i remember the day that he came in .
D
i can’t believe how long its been
C G
like a poet , he began to play .
G
just an old friend that hung with the band
D
a drinkin’ man he had no plan
C G
but he played the ’bird , played it for free

– – chorus :

G D
’cause i know he’s here , he’s everywhere
C G
take a look around oh and you will see
G D
that cross we bear , it’s in the air
C G
lord we thank you for those gifted hands

– – little breakdown : ether play the intro through once or play ( G D C ) chords once .

– – verse :

there are demons we live with everyday

that tear at our hearts , and take us away

to another place , some of us don’t get back

this song is for the hands of the workin’ man

who believes in himself and he understands

love , hope , and faith are the maker’s plan

– – back to the chorus – –

– –
C A
one day we’ll all take that ride
C D
and with those gifted hands i know you’ll fly .

G – – D – – C – – x2

throughout the solo to the end the chords change to :

F – – C – – G – –

and finally the end repeats the intro once with a tempo change in the pull offs!

hope this helps , enjoy!
