Margo Price - Hands of Time Chords

[intro]
A

[verse 1]
     A
When I rolled out of town on the unpaved road
      E
I was fifty-seven dollars from being broke
          A
Kissed my mama and my sisters, I said goodbye
    A7
And with my suitcase packed
            D             A        E
I wiped the tears from my eyes

[verse 2]
A
Times they were tough, growing up at home
    E
My daddy lost the farm when I was two years old
       A
Took a job at the prison, working second shift
    A7
And that's the last time
           D                   A       E
I let them take what should be his

[chorus]
      G
Cause all I wanna do is make a little cash
        C
Cause I worked all the bad jobs,

bustin' my hands
        G
I wanna buy back the farm

and bring my mama home some wine
    D
And turn back the clock
       C              G        G#
on the cruel hands of time

[verse 3]
A
When I hit the city, I joined the band
        E
Started singing in the bars

and running with the men
        A
But the men they brought me problems

and the drinking caused me grief
  A7
I thought I'd found a friend
      D            A         E
but I only found a thief

[verse 4]
A
Soon I settled down with a married man
   E
We had a couple babies,

started living off the land
    A
But my firstborn died and I cried out to God
         A7
Is there anybody up there lookin'
 D             A         E
 down on me at all?

[chorus]
      G
Cause all I wanna do is make something last
      C
But I can't see the future,

I can't change the past
        G
I wanna buy back the farm

and bring my mama home some wine
D
Turn back the clock
       C              G       G
on the cruel hands of time

[verse 5]
      A
Still I keep a-running fast as I can
          E
Trying to make something honest

with my own two hands
    A
And I ain't got the breath

to say another bad word
        A7
So if I ever said it wrong
             D            A         E
won't you forget what you heard

[chorus]
      G
Cause all I wanna do is make my own path
        C
Cause I know what I am, I know what I have
        G
I wanna buy back the farm

and bring my mama home some wine
D                          C              G
Turn back the clock on the cruel hands of time
D      C              G
Cruuuuuuuuel hands of time
D      C              G
Cruuuuuuuuel hands of time
