HAND-CARVED HEART -Tom Russell

G C/G D C G C/G D

C C/G D C G C/G D

There’s an old Spanish oak bent over a country road

C G C/G D C G C/G D

If it could tell all that it knows of a hand-carved heart

C G C/G D C G C/G D

Once two lovers slept in its shade, his hands weaving thru her dark braids

C G C/G D C G

They shared the edge of a blade, carved their names in the bark

G C D G

Chorus: The heart it has darkened with the weather of years

G 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

C D C G C D C D G C D

Then he rode away down that old country road

Away from the old Spanish oak and the hand-carved heart

He said she’d be back one day, she waited, she wept and she prayed

She vowed he would never betray the hand-carved heart

Chorus: The heart it has darkened with the weather of years

It may never fade away, washed clean with his tears

The human heart breaks with a hurt that runs deep through the blood

G C D (G C D C) 3x

I wish it was made out of wood, like a hand carved heart

G C D G C D C

I wish it was made out of wood, like a hand carved heart
