HAND-CARVED HEART -Tom Russell

[G] [C/G] [D] [C] [G] [C/G] [D]
[C] [C/G] [D] [C] [G] [C/G] [D]
Theres 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 shed 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
