The Hand That Rocks The Cradle Tab par Glen Campbell

[Intro]
C G C C
 
[Verse 1]
C                   C7                   F
He got here red and wrinkled, scared and cryin'
        C                               G
The she took him up and held him to her breast
       C                G        C    F
And he sure was glad to get what mama offered
        C                 G                C
Then he went to sleep and put his fears to rest
 
[Verse 2]
C                 C7             F
It didn't seem to matter what he needed
C                                G
He could always count on mama to supply
    C                 G         C        F
And regardless of the sleep she might be losin'
   C              G              C
He always found a twinkle in her eye
 
[Chorus 1]
F                   G                C
There ought to be a hall of fame for mamas
F               G                   C
Creation's most unique and precious pearls
F                  G         C    F
And heaven help us always to remember
         Dm                  G                C
That the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world
 
[Verse 3]
C                      C7            F
She taught him all the attributes of greatness
         C                                G
That she knew he couldn't learn away from home
    C                        G         C   F
And by the time she wore the cover off her bible
    C                     G              C
Her hair was gray and her little man was gone
 
[Outro]
F                   G                C
There ought to be a hall of fame for mamas
F               G                   C
Creation's most unique and precious pearls
F                  G         C  F
And heaven help us always to remember
         Dm                  G                C
That the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world
         F                   G                C
Yes, the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world
