[VERSE 1]
There’s an [C]old Spanish [G]oak [C] [D]
Bent [C]over a [G]country road [C] [D]
If [C]it could tell [G]all that it [C]knows [D]
Of a [C]hand carved [G]heart [C] [D]
[VERSE]
Once two [C]lovers [G]slept in the [C]shade [D]
His [C]hands weaving [G]through her dark [C]braids [D]
[C]They shared the [G]edge of his [C]blade [D]
[C]Carved their names in the [G]bark
[CHORUS]
The [C]heart it has darkened[D] with the weather of [G]years
It may never [C]fade away,[F] washed clean with her [Am]tears [D]
The human heart [C]breaks[D] with a hurt that runs [G]deep through the [C]blo[D]od
I wish it was [G]made out of [C]wood,[D] like a hand carved [G]heart

[C]Down that [G]old country [C]road [D]
A[C]way from the [G]old Spanish [C]oak [D]
With the [C]hand carved [G]heart [C] [D]
[VERSE]
He [C]said he’d be [G]back one [C]day [D]
She [C]wept and she [G]waited, she [C]prayed [D]
She [C]vowed she would [G]never be[C]tray [D]
The [C]hand carved [G]heart
