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

E D#m
Laid out on the counter
D C#m7 E
Pulled up out of hot water
B D C#7
The work of our hands, so faithful and true
[Verse]
E B F# G#m
I make something barely there, music is little more than air
E B F# B
So now every year, I'll put by tomatoes and pears
E B F# G#m
Boil the lids and wipe the lip with a callused fingertip
E B F# B
And I swear by the winter ground, we'll open one and pass the thing around
E B F# G#m
Let the light catch the jar, amber gold as a falling star
E B F# G#m
Its humble and physical, it's only love made visible
E B
Yeah, now I understand
D#m G#m F#/A# B
[Outro]
E B F# G#m E B F# B x4
