Piece Of Wood And Steel chords by David Allen Coe

Chords with lyrics

[Verse 1]
A minorAm                        C majorC
I can feel your arms around me like it was yesterday
   G+G                           A minorAm
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+G                         A minorAm
All I ever live for now is this piece of wood and steel

[Verse 2]
A minorAm                            C majorC
In a world that's full of trouble, a world that's full of pain,lord
G+G                       A minorAm
Many fall beside the road, and they never rise again.

Many more are bended low or broken at their will
G+G                        A minorAm
All I need to carry on is this piece of wood and steel

[Verse 3]
B minorBm                          D MajorD
I was born my mother's only son she loves me all she can,
     A augmentedA                    B minorBm
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 augmentedA                            B minorBm
I just thank the lord for hands to play this piece of wood and steel

[Verse 4]
C minorCm                            D#D#
It's face is scarred and beaten,like the ragged clothes I wear
     A#A#                      C minorCm
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#A#                                C minorCm
I play the strings just to hear 'em ring on this piece of wood and steel.

[Verse 5]
DmDm                            FF
I'm growin' tired of searchin' now there's nothing more I crave
C majorC                           C minorCm
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 majorC                      C minorCm
All I ever wanted was this piece of wood and steel

Play that guitar
