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

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