Joey + Rory - "Heart of the Wood"

G
I THINK WHAT MADE GRANDDADDY GREAT IS THAT HE

D
DIDNT WORK ALL DAY I'D

C
LOVE THE TIME WE SPENT AND I'D GO

D
EVERYWHERE HE WENT WE'D END UP

C C
ON SOME OLD DEER TRAIL AND I'D

C D
LISTEN HARD AS HE WOULD SPIN HIS TALES

G C
WE WERE IN A FIELD OF STUMPS HE SAID I GOT A NEW

C
ONE FOR YOU HUN, THESE TREES ONCE STOOD TALL

D C
AND IM THE MAN THAT MADE EM FALL, I CUT EM UP

D C D
SANDED EM DOWN, AND YOU WOULD'NT BELIEVE WHAT I

FOUND

CHORUS

G
CAUSE PAST THE BARK AND ALL THE SCARS, OUR HOME

G7 C
HOME WAS IN THE HEART OF THOSE OLD TREES, GOD

D
BLESS WHO SOWED THOSE SEEDS,

G
A HUNDRED YEARS AND THEY JUST GREW, AND ONLY

C
HEAVEN KNEW JUST WHAT THEY'D MEAN

D C
TO OUR FAMILY ALL THAT TIME TO BECOME WHAT

D C
WHAT THEY SHOULD, YOU KNOW OUR HOME WAS IN THE

D G
HEART OF THE WOOD.

G
HE SMILED AND SAID HERES MY FAVORITE ONE,

D
POINTED AT A CHERRY STUMP, HE SAID I COULD'NT

C D
AFFORD THE ONE AT SEARS, SO THE GOOD LORD

C
PLANTED ONE RIGHT HERE, HE CARVED OUT WHAT HE

D C
SAW WITHIN, AND HE GAVE IT TO MY DAD WHEN HE

D
TURNED TEN,

G
PAST THE BARK AND ALL THE SCARS THERE WAS A

G7 C
GUITAR IN THE HEART OF THAT OLD TREE ALL FROM

D G
JUST ONE SEED, A HUNDRED YEARS AND IT JUST GREW

G7 C
AND ONLY HEAVEN KNEW WHAT IT'D BE AND HOW THAT

D C
TREE COULD SING, ALL THAT TIME TO BECOME WHAT

D C D
SHOULD, THERE WERE SONGS IN THE HEART OF THE

G
WOOD.

EM D
HE SAID WE CAN MARK A TREE, TO KEEP FROM GETTING

AM
LOST, AND IT WILL ALWAYS POINT OUR WAY HOME

C D
LIKE THAT OLD RUGGED CROSS,

G G7
A HUNDRED YEARS AND IT JUST GREW ONLY HEAVEN

C D
KNEW WHAT IT'D BE, AND WHO'D HANG FROM THAT

D C D
TREE, IT HELD THE SON OF GOD LIKE IT SHOULD,

C D G
BUT I KNOW IT BROKE THE HEART OF THE WOOD.

I THINK WHAT MADE GRANDDADDY GREAT, IS THAT HE

DIDNT WORK ALL DAY, I'D LOVE THE TIME HE SPENT

AND I'D GO EVERYWHERE THAT OLD MAN WENT.
