Piece of Wood and Steel Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]I can feel your arms around
me like [Bb]it was yesterday
[Bbm]I can [F]feel your breathing next to me
and hear your laughter [G]gay
You tried to tell me what was right
and I told you what was real
[F]All I ever live for now is this piece
of wood [G]and steel
[Abm]

[Verse 2]
In a world that's full of trouble
a world that's full [Bm]of pain
[F#]Lord many fall beside the road
and they never rise [G#m]again
Many more are bending low
or broken at the wheel
[F#]All I need to carry on is this piece
of wood [G#m]and steel
[Am]

[Verse 3]
I was born my mother's [A]only son
she loves me [Am]all s[Cm]he can
But there [G]isn't much to say to her
since I became [Am]a man
And I often met the devil but
I never made [A]a deal
I just [G]thank the Lord for hands [D]to play
this [G]piece of wood and [Am]steel
[A#m]

[Verse 4]
Its [Bb]face is scarred and beaten
[Bbm]like the ragged clothes I wear[Db]
Like [Ab]the body that God gave me
I might give it better [Bbm]care
But I play it for the ladies
and I play it for a meal
I [Ab]play the strings just to hear 'em ring
of this piece of wood and [Bbm]steel
[Cbm]

[Verse 5]
I'm growing tired of searching now
there's something much I [D]crave
[A]Give or take a little time and you can
write it on my [Cbm]grave
There's nothing more I care
to own nothing left to feel
[A]All I ever wanted was this piece
of wood and [Cbm]steel

[Interlude 1]
[Cm]

[Verse 6]
I can [Cm]feel your arms around
me like it was yester[Eb]day
I [Bb]can feel your breathing next to me
and hear your laughter [Cm]gay
You tried to tell me what was right
and I told you what was real
[Bb]All I ever live for now is this
piece of wood and [Cm]steel
In a world that's full of trouble
a world that's full of pain
[Bb]Lord many fall beside the road
and they never rise [Cm]again
Many more are bending low
or broken at the wheel
[Bb]All I need to carry on is this

[Interlude 2]
piece of wood and steel
[Cm]

[Verse 7]
I was [Cm]born my mother's only
son she loves me all [Eb]she can
But there [Bb]isn't much to say to her
since I became [Cm]a man
And I often met the devil but I
never made a deal
I just [Bb]thank the Lord for hands to play this
piece of wood and [Cm]steel
(I'll be playing this guitar
till the day [Cm]I die)

[Outro 1]
