I remember the day that he came in
D
I can't believe how long it's been
C G
Like a poet, he began to play
Just an old friend that hung with the band
D
A drinkin' man he had no plan
C
But he played the 'Bird
G
Played it for free
'Cause I know he's here
D
He's everywhere
C
Take a look around oh and you will see
That cross we bear
D
It's in the air
C
Lord we thank you for these gifted hands
G D C G
G
There are demons we live with every day
D
That tear at our hearts and take us away
C
To another place
G
Some of us don't get back
This song is for the hands of the workin' man
D
Who believes in himself and he understands
C G
Love, hope, and faith are The Maker's plan
G D C G
'Cause I know he's here
He's everywhere
Take a look around oh and you will see
That cross we bear
It's in the air

Lord we thank you for these gifted hands
Em A
One day we'll all take that ride
C D
And with those gifted hands I know you'll fly
