Am C
I can feel your arms around me like it was yesterday
G Am
I can feel your breathin' next to me, and hear your laughter gay
You tried to tell me what was right and I told you what was real
G Am
All I ever live for now is this piece of wood and steel
[Verse 2]
Am C
In a world that's full of trouble, a world that's full of pain,lord
G Am
Many fall beside the road, and they never rise again.
Many more are bended low or broken at their will
G Am
All I need to carry on is this piece of wood and steel
[Verse 3]
Bm D
I was born my mother's only son she loves me all she can,
A Bm
but there isnt much to say to her since I became a man
I often met the devil, but I never made a deal
A Bm
I just thank the lord for hands to play this piece of wood and steel
[Verse 4]
Cm D#
It's face is scarred and beaten,like the ragged clothes I wear
A# Cm
Like the body that god gave me, I might give it better care
But I play it for the ladies and I play it for a meal
A# Cm
I play the strings just to hear 'em ring on this piece of wood and steel.
[Verse 5]
Dm F
I'm growin' tired of searchin' now there's nothing more I crave
C Cm
Give or take a little time and you can write it on my grave
There's nothin' more that I care to own, nothin' left to feel
C Cm
All I ever wanted was this piece of wood and steel
Play that guitar
Dm
