this is the intro:
                                  G

G|-------------2p---------------0-0--|
D|--------------------------------0--| X2
A|--------------------------------2--|
E|--------------------------------3--|

--the verse goes something like this:

    G
I remember the day that he came in. 
  D
I can't believe how long its been
       C                 G
like a poet, he began to play.
G
Just an old friend that hung with the band 
    D
A drinkin' man he had no plan
        C                             G
but he played the 'bird, played it for free


--chorus:
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/l/lynyrd_skynyrd/gifted_hands_crd.html ]
         G                     D
'Cause I know he's here, he's everywhere
C                                  G
Take a look around oh and you will see
      G                  D
That cross we bear, it's in the air
C                                  G
Lord we thank you for those gifted hands

--little breakdown: ether play the intro through once or play (G D C) chords once.

--verse:

There are demons we live with everyday

That tear at our hearts, and take us away

to another place, some of us don't get back

This song is for the hands of the workin' man

Who believes in himself and he understands

Love, hope, and faith are The Maker's plan


--back to the chorus--

--
C                           A
One day we'll all take that ride
C                                        D
And with those gifted hands I know you'll fly.

G-- D-- C-- X2

throughout the solo to the end the chords change to:

F-- C-- G--

and finally the end repeats the intro once with a tempo change in the pull offs!

hope this helps, enjoy!
