Piece of Wood and Steel David Allan Coe
Verse 1
[Am]I can feel your arms around me like it was yester[C]day
I can [G]feel your breathin' next to me, and hear your laughter [Am]gay
You tried to tell me what was right and I told you what was real
[G]All I ever live for now is this piece of wood and [Am]steel
Verse 2 - Half step higher
[Am]In a world that's full of trouble, a world that's full of[C] pain,lord
[G]Many fall beside the road, and they never rise [Am]again.
Many more are bended low or broken at their will
[G]All I need to carry on is this piece of wood and[Am] steel
Verse 3 - Half step higher
[Bm]I was born my mother's only son she loves me all she [D]can,
but there [A]isnt much to say to her since I became a [Bm]man
I often met the devil, but I never made a deal
I just [A]thank the lord for hands to play this piece of wood and [Bm]steel
Verse 4 - Half step higher
[Cm]It's face is scarred and beaten,like the ragged clothes I [D]wear
Like the [A]body that god gave me, I might give it better[Cm] care
But I play it for the ladies and I play it for a meal
I [A]play the strings just to hear 'em ring on this piece of wood and[Cm] steel.
Verse 5 - Half step higher
[Cm]I'm growin' tired of searchin' now there's nothing more I[E] crave
[B]Give or take a little time and you can write it on my [Cm]grave
There's nothin' more that I care to own, nothin' left to feel
[B]All I ever wanted was this piece of wood and [Cm]steel
Half step higher (Dm F C Dm C Dm)
Play that guitar
[Dm]
Repeat Verses 1, 2 and 3 all in Dm
(Spoken)
I'll be playin' this guitar till the day I die.
