IN THE PALM OF YOUR HAND by Ron Block (BMI), as performed by

(Rounder 0307), also on Rounder CD 0325.  Also David Letterman's show 11/20/95.
Transcribed by Richard Kinch ([email protected]) 11/22/95.
4/4 Key of Bb (For guitar, play in G with Capo 3, Em6=020010, Am7=x02010)
The percussion during verses is the rhythm guitarist tapping his guitar top.

INTRO G-C2-G-C2 (use finger roll 6-2-4-3 on G=320033 and 5-2-4-3 on C2=x32033)

G                   D         C      G
1.  If I could have the world and all it owns
C        Em6         Am       D7
A thousand kingdoms, a thousand thrones
Em      C          D7      G         C         D7   G
If all the earth were mine to own, with wealth my only goal
G        D       C       G
I'd spend my gold on selfish things
C       Em6       Am7       D7
Without the love that your life brings
Em         Am7       D7      G         C        Am7       G
Just a "little bit more" was all I'd need 'til life was torn from me.

CHORUS
C          Bm        Em      D7   Em6 D7
I'd rather be in the palm of your hand
C              Am7        G
Though rich or poor I may be.
C             Bm                Em D7 Em6 D7 ?
Faith can see right through the circumstance;
A         A7           D7     C D7
Sees the forest in spite of the trees.
C        Em6   Am7 G
[CODA] Your grace provides for me.

[BREAK] G   D   C   G   C   Em6 Am  D7  Em  C   D7  G   C   D7  G

G        D           C        G
2.  If I should walk the streets, no place to sleep,
C        Em6  Am7     D7
No faith in promises you keep.
Em      C      D7     G            C     D7     G
I'd have no way to buy my bread with a Bible for my bed.
G         D       C        G       C        Em6      Am7    D7
But if I trust the one who died for me, Who shed His blood to set me free
Em      Am7     D7       G         C          Am7    G
If I live my life to trust in you, your grace will see me through.
