[Verse 1]
C G C D
There’s an old Spanish oak
C G C D
Bent over a country road
C G C D
If it could tell all that it knows
C G C D
Of a hand carved heart
[Verse]
C G C D
Once two lovers slept in the shade
C G C D
His hands weaving through her dark braids
C G C D
They shared the edge of his blade
C G
Carved their names in the bark
[Chorus]
C D G
The heart it has darkened with the weather of years
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
[Instrumental]

[Verse]
N.C. G C D
Then he rode away
C G C D
Down that old country road
C G C D
Away from the old Spanish oak
C G C D
With the hand carved heart
[Verse]
C G C D
He said he’d be back one day
C G C D
She wept and she waited, she prayed
C G C D
She vowed she would never betray
C G
The hand carved heart
[Chorus]
C D G
The heart it has darkened with the weather of years
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 C D G C D
I wish it was made out of wood, like a hand carved heart
G C D G C D G D G
I wish it was made out of wood
