Heart Of The Wood

G D G D Dadd4 D

[Verse 1]

  G                                   D/F#
 I think what made granddaddy great is that he didn't work all day
Cadd9                          D
 I'd love the time we spent and I'd go everywhere he went
     Cadd9                   D
 We'd end up on some old deer trail
        Cadd9                            D
 And I'd listen hard as he would spin his tales


[Verse 2]

G                                      D/F#
 We were in a field of stumps he said I got a new one for you hon
Cadd9                           D
 These trees once stood tall and I'm the man who made them fall
  Cadd9                  D    Dadd4 D        Cadd9                   D     Dadd4 D
 I cut 'em up, sanded em’ down,       and you wouldn't believe what I found


[Chorus]

         G                D/F#
 Past the bark and all the scars
    Em                                 Cadd9 Csus2 Cadd9
 Our home was in the heart of those old trees
              D                            G                   D/F#
 God bless who sowed those seeds, A hundred years and they just grew
    Em                                Cadd9 Csus2 Cadd9       D
 And only heaven knew just what they'd mean,            to our family
         Cadd9                    D      Dadd4 D
 All that time to become what they should
    Cadd9           D            G     D Dadd4 D
 Our home was in the heart of the wood


[Verse 3]

   G                                     D/F#
 He smiled, said there's my favorite one, pointed at a cherry stump
          Cadd9
 He said I couldn't afford the one at Sears
       D
 So the good lord planted one right here
   Cadd9                      D   Dadd4 D
 He carved out what he saw within
       Cadd9                            D    Dadd4 D
 And he gave it to my dad when he turned ten


[Chorus]

         G                D/F#
 Past the bark and all the scars
            Em                              Cadd9 Csus2 Cadd9
 There was a guitar in the heart of that old tree
         D                        G                 D/F#
 All from just one seed, a hundred years and it just grew
    Em                              Cadd9 Csus2 Cadd9            D
 And only heaven knew just what it'd be,             and how that tree could sing
         Cadd9                  D      Dadd4 D
 All that time to become what it should
           Cadd9        D            G
 There were songs in the heart of the wood


[Bridge 1]

        Bm                    Cadd9
 He said we can mark a tree to keep from getting lost
G/B          Am           G/B               Cadd9           D
 and it' will always point our way home like that old rugged cross


[Bridge 2]

          G                 D/F#  Em         G/B            Cadd9
 A hundred years and it just grew only heaven knew what it'd be
               D               Cadd9                       D       Dadd4 D
 And who'd hang on that tree it held the Son of God like it should
      Cadd9             D            G    D
 But I know it broke the heart of the wood

G                                      D/F#
 I think what made granddaddy great was that he didn't work all day
    Cadd9
 I'd love the time we spent
    D                          G
 I'd go everywhere that old man went
