[Verse]
F# C# G# A#m
Today while it rained, I washed the jars
F# C# G# C#
Then I lit a flame, set the water to start
F# C# G# A#m
And at the end of the day, lined up to cool and seal
F# C# G# C#
Twelve pints of spiced peach jam, twenty jars of dill beans canned
F# C# G# A#m
From an old recipe that my mother gave to me
F# C# G# A#m
Because it's good to put a little bit by for when the late snows fly
F# C#
All that love so neatly canned
Fm A#m G#/C C#
By the work of our tending hands
[Instrumental]
F# C# G# A#m F# C# G# C#
[Verse]
F# C# G# A#m
laid hands on boards and bricks and loud machines
F# C# G# C#
With shovels and rakes, and buckets of soap, they clean
F# C# G# A#m
And I believe that we should bless every shirt ironed and pressed
F# C# G# C#
Salute the crews out on the road, those who stock shelves and carry loads
F# C# G# A#m
Whisper thanks to the brooms and saws, dirty boots and coveralls
F# C# G# A#m
And bow my head to the waitress and nurse, tip my hat to farmer and clerk
F# C#
All those saints with skillets and pans
Fm A#m G#/C C#
And the work of their hands, work of their hands
[Instrumental]

Laid out on the counter
Fb D#m7 F#
Pulled up out of hot water
C# Fb D#7
The work of our hands, so faithful and true
[Verse]
F# C# G# A#m
I make something barely there, music is little more than air
F# C# G# C#
So now every year, I'll put by tomatoes and pears
F# C# G# A#m
Boil the lids and wipe the lip with a callused fingertip
F# C# G# C#
And I swear by the winter ground, we'll open one and pass the thing around
F# C# G# A#m
Let the light catch the jar, amber gold as a falling star
F# C# G# A#m
Its humble and physical, it's only love made visible
F# C#
Yeah, now I understand
Fm A#m G#/C C#
[Outro]
