Verse 1:
      C majorC      G+G  C majorC D MajorD
There’s an old Spanish oak
   C majorC   G+G      C majorC D MajorD
Bent over a country road
  C majorC       G+G      C majorC   D MajorD
If it could tell all that it knows
   C majorC      G+G   C majorC D MajorD
Of a hand carved heart

Verse:
     C majorC   G+G      C majorC   D MajorD
Once two lovers slept in the shade
  C majorC       G+G        C majorC   D MajorD
His hands weaving through her dark braids
C majorC        G+G      C majorC   D MajorD
They shared the edge of his blade
C majorC             G+G
Carved their names in the bark

Chorus:
  C majorC          D MajorD          G+G
The heart it has darkened with the weather of years
       C majorC     FF           A minorAm   D MajorD
It may never fade away, washed clean with her tears
        C majorC   D MajorD           G+G        C majorC D MajorD
The human heart breaks with a hurt that runs deep through the blood
       G+G      C majorC  D MajorD          G+G
I wish it was made out of wood, like a hand carved heart

Then he rode away
C majorC     G+G      C majorC  D MajorD
Down that old country road
 C majorC      G+G      C majorC  D MajorD
Away from the old Spanish oak
     C majorC      G+G   C majorC D MajorD
With the hand carved heart

Verse:
  C majorC      G+G    C majorC  D MajorD
He said he’d be back one day
  C majorC      G+G      C majorC   D MajorD

She vowed she would never betray
  C majorC      G+G
The hand carved heart

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

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

I wish it was made out of wood
