Watch The Womans Hands

Saw Paula in concert tonight (amazing!!!) and made sure to watch for

that little arpeggio. The verses are basically one chord shape that

slides between frets, and the picking pattern is pretty self-evident.

I didn't get the fills, but the verse riff works fine for bridging.

Watch the woman's hands as she cultivates the land

G9 A9 (repeat same chords through verses)

As she plants the seed, as she's on her knees

Watch her fingers smile as she holds the little child

As she holds him, as she holds him

Watch the woman's hands as she holds her children back

>From the danger, from the danger

Watch how they fight to keep the family tight

Together, together

CHORUS: Oh we need her, oh we need her

Oh we need her, oh we need her

Watch the woman's hands as she talks to the man

As he talks down to her, as he tells her

He doesn't understand, he doesn't see the fisted hand

Clenching tightly, angrily

CHORUS REPEATED
