I unexpectingly got to see Chantal, *live*, performing "Hands" and "God Made Me" at the QE Theatre in Vancouver last October (I think... '98) at this Stop Racism National Video Competition Awards thing... all I knew was the Prince Charles would be there and it was free cuz I was invited by my school so cool enough, y'know? THEN there was performances by Great Big Sea, Matthew Good Band, Jann Arden, and, of course, Chantal!!!! I was ecstatic! I didn't like Chantal that much until I saw her perform... it was AWESOME! Everyone else was good too but Chantal did like an unplugged "Hands" which sounded WICKED. The Junos were here just the day before so that was cool too. Anyway, just to let you guys know... hee hee!

Hands     Chantal Kreviazuk                  tabbed by JoAnn Chee (me!) 
                           ALBUM: Under These Rocks And Stones

TUNE DOWN ½ A STEP!!     (to play with the CD on piano, it’s F#  B  D#m  C#)


Intro:  D  C  x4
         G  C  Em  D x4 		(oh...)


Verse 1:
G             C              Em   
  There's a man outside my door tonight
             D       G              C      Em  D
He cries for help, he sings a pleading song 
G             C              Em   
Well times are tough for everyone 
       D
Gotta hold on to what I got 
G          C      Em       D
  And just kind of cruise along


Bridge:
C       D      
 Well I do
     G        C
Want to be helpful
C        D           G    C
But it's cold and I'm told 
    D
You can't be too careful


Chorus:
G         C          Em   D
Out of the mouth of a mother
G       C          Em     D
Into the hands of a brother
G       C          Em    D
Into the heart of a lover 
    G         C        Em   
And out of the hands of another 
     D
-doo doo doo, doo doo doo- 


Verse 2: (same as Verse 1)
You can never tell who your neighbour is
Or what he's doin' at night or who his friends are
Well you don't know where he's from
Or where he's been or who he knows
You know you can't be too careful 
These days


Bridge 2: (same as Bridge 1)
Well I do want to be helpful
Whoa Cut it's cold
And I'm told he might just be the devil


Chorus: (same as before)
Out of the mouth of a mother
Into the hands of a brother -doo doo doo, doo doo doo-
Into the heart of a lover 
And out of the hands of another -doo doo doo, doo doo doo-


Middle 8:
D
Well I don't take chances 

And I don't take time to see

And I don't take nothing
      G  C  Em  D    
From nobody
G   C          Em   D
No way - not me  -doo doo doo, doo doo doo-
G   C   Em   D
Oh!          
G   C   Em   D
-doo doo doo, doo doo doo, doo doo-


Chorus: (same as before-repeat a few times and fade)


Into the eyes of a child
Into the ears of a child
Into the heart of a child
