Copper And Gold

Am
I was born with a heart made of 
copper and gold
Am
I  polished it down so I would not 
grow old
        C                          
But  the rains they come under ripe
          G
 blackened skies
         F               G        
And they wither my heart despite 
     Am
all I try

[Verse 2]
Am
Shadow of death, it is trailin' me
Am
It  haunts me on land and it haunts 
me on sea
C                               G
Try  as I might I just can't get 
away
      F                 G         
It'll haunt me until it kills me 
   Am
one day

Continues after the ad
[Verse 3]
Am
My  wife is my darlin' and I am her 
man
Am
As much as I love her she don't 
understand
         C                         
That the ways of the world are not 
       G
always kind
        F                       
And the weight of the world is a 
 G         Am
burden at times

[Verse 4]
Am
I've  talked to the Devil when I'm 
down in the hole
Am
He always says he owns my soul
       C                           
And no matter how much that I beg 
    G
or I plead
         F                         
That the day that I die he'll come 
G            Am
take it from me

[Verse 5]
Am
So I leave you this heart made of 
copper and gold
Am
And may it be yours till you grow 
old
       C                        
If the rains ever come and anger 
      G
your seas
         F                         
Will you polish that heart and then
 G        Am
 think of me?
         F                         
Will you polish that heart and then
 G        Am
 think of me?
