If you like use any finger picking technique for the verse, I personally use this:
e|-----------x-----------x--|
B|-----x-----------x--------|
G|--------------------------|
D|--------------------------|
A|--------------------------|
E|--R-----R-----R-----R-----|
R is the root note, or whichever string is lowest in the chord
Cadd9: x32033
Em7: 022033
F6add9: 100033
Cadd9 G
Ive never felt like this before so full of joy and scared to death
Cadd9 D
As I watching my brand new baby boy taking his first breath
Cadd9 D G F6add9 Em7
Hes so beautiful craddled in my arms as he starts to cry
Am Bm
The nurse takes hold of my trembling hands
C D
And then looks me in the eye
G
Hes in your hands now
D
take good care of him
G F6add9 Em7
help him stand up when he falls
Cadd9 D
keep him safe through thick and thin
Cadd9 D
there will be those times he'll look in your eyes
G F6add9 Em7
and youll see he needs your love
Am D
please remember how
G
hes in your hands now
Cadd9 G
My wife and i did the best we could to raise a good hearted man
Cadd9 D
ill never forget when he came home and his girl had a ring on her hand
Cadd9 D
and then i could tell with a few wedding bells
G F6add9 Em7
and when the day finally came
Am Bm C D
i looked in the eyes of my son's bride and remembered these words again
G
Hes in your hands now
D
take good care of him
G F6add9 Em7
help him stand up when he falls
Cadd9 D
keep him safe through thick and thin
Cadd9 D
there will be those times he'll look in your eyes
G F6add9 Em7
and youll see he needs your love
Am D
please remember how
G Bm
hes in your hands now
Em D
we were all so proud of him when he joined the national guard
C D G
he said he wanted to help all those in need
Em D
we never imagined he'd be called off to war
C D
to fight for his country
Cadd9 G
i felt my heart sink in my chest when those two men walked up the drive
Cadd9 D
a letter and a flag in hand they saluted and said goodbye
Cadd9 D
i closed the door and dropped to my knees
G F6add9 Em7
as the tears started pouring down
Am Bm C D
i folded my hands and bowed my head my voice barely made a sound
G
Hes in your hands now
D
take good care of him
G F6add9 Em7 Cadd9 D
give him a place in your amazing grace and a great big pair of wings
Cadd9 D G F6add9 Em7
so when i raise my eyes and look to the skyes ill feel him smiling down
Am D
please remember how
Bm Em
hes in your hands now oh
Am D
please remember how
G
hes in your hands now
