Empty Hands
Transposer
[Verse 1] Em D In the shadows of the smokestacks Em D Through the black snow that lay on the land Em D Walked home one winter’s morning Em D My life saving’s in my hand [Verse 2] Em D Maryanne, she's fixin' up some breakfast Em D Got the lights out on the Christmas tree Em D Instead of lookin’ up at an angel Em D Was somethin’ dyin' inside of me [Verse 3] Em D Grew up with great expectations Em D Heard the promise and I knew the plan Em D They say people get what they deserve Em D But Lord, sometimes it's much worse than that [Verse 4] Em D Maryanne, she’s takin' in some laundry Em D Got a part time job in a drive-in stand Em D Oh Lord, what did I do Em D To deserve these empty hands? [Chorus] G D Across the cities G D Across this land Em D Through the valleys Em D And across the sand C D Too many people standing in line C D Too many people with nothing planned C D There's too many people Em With empty hands [Instrumental Break] Am Em C D Am Em C D B7 [Verse 5] Em D Now Maryanne's been cryin' Em D Lord knows, I love her the best I can Em D When my pride is bruised and broken Em D She slips her hand into my empty hands [Verse 6] Em D Without hope, without love Em D You've got nothin’ but pain Em D Just makes a man not give a damn Em D That ain’t no way for us to live Em D We've got to fill these empty hands [Chorus] G D Across the cities G D Across this land Em D Through the valleys Em D And across the sand C D Too many people standing in line C D Too many people with nothing planned C D There's too many people Em With empty hands
