Hand Carved Heart

G  C  D  C  G  C  D

[Verse 1]
           C           G   C  D
There’s an old Spanish oak
     C      G            C  D
Bent over a country road
   C             G           C     D
If it could tell all that it knows
     C           G     C  D
Of a hand carved heart

[Verse]
         C      G            C     D
Once two lovers slept in the shade
    C             G                C      D
His hands weaving through her dark braids
C               G           C     D
They shared the edge of his blade
C                         G
Carved their names in the bark

[Chorus]
    C                    D                    G
The heart it has darkened with the weather of years
             C         F                      Am      D
It may never fade away, washed clean with her tears
                C     D                      G                C  D
The human heart breaks with a hurt that runs deep through the blood
              G           C    D                   G
I wish it was made out of wood, like a hand carved heart

[Instrumental]
C  D  C  G  C  D  G  C    D    G  C  D

[Verse]
N.C.          G   C  D
Then he rode away
C         G           C    D
Down that old country road
 C            G           C   D
Away from the old Spanish oak
         C           G     C  D
With the hand carved heart

[Verse]
   C            G        C   D
He said he’d be back one day
    C            G           C      D
She wept and she waited, she prayed
    C               G       C    D
She vowed she would never betray
    C           G
The hand carved heart

[Chorus]
    C                    D                    G
The heart it has darkened with the weather of years
             C         F                      Am      D
It may never fade away, washed clean with her tears
                C     D                      G                C  D
The human heart breaks with a hurt that runs deep through the blood
              G           C    D                   G     C  D  G    C  D
I wish it was made out of wood, like a hand carved heart
              G           C    D  G    C  D  G D G
I wish it was made out of wood
