Joey + Rory - Heart of the wood

I^G think what made granddaddy great is^D/F# that he didn't work all day ^Cadd9 I'd love the time we spent and^D I'd go everywhere he went We'd^Cadd9 end up on some old deer^D trail And I'd^Cadd9 listen hard as he would spin his^D tales

^G We were in a field of stumps he said I^D/F# got a new one for you hon ^Cadd9 These trees once stood tall and^D I'm the man who made them fall I^Cadd9 cut 'em up, sanded em’^D down^Dadd4, ^D and you^Cadd9 wouldn't believe what I^D found^{Dadd4 D}

Past the^G bark and all the^D/F# scars Our^Em home was in the heart of those old^Cadd9 trees^{Csus2 Cadd9} God bless who^D sowed those seeds, A hundred^G years and they just^D/F# grew And^Em only heaven knew just what they'd^Cadd9 mean,^{Csus2 Cadd9} to our^D family All that^Cadd9 time to become what they^D should^{Dadd4 D} Our^Cadd9 home was in the^D heart of the^G wood ^{D Dadd4 D}

He^G smiled, said there's my favorite one,^D/F# pointed at a cherry stump He said I^Cadd9 couldn't afford the one at Sears So the^D good lord planted one right here He^Cadd9 carved out what he saw wit^Dhin ^{Dadd4 D} And he^Cadd9 gave it to my dad when he turned^D ten ^{Dadd4 D}

Past the^G bark and all the^D/F# scars There was a^Em guitar in the heart of that old^Cadd9 tree ^{Csus2 Cadd9} All from^D just one seed, a hundred^G years and it just^D/F# grew And^Em only heaven knew just what it'd^Cadd9 be, ^{Csus2 Cadd9} and how that^D tree could sing All that^Cadd9 time to become what it^D should^{Dadd4 D} There were^Cadd9 songs in the^D heart of the^G wood

He said^Bm we can mark a tree to^Cadd9 keep from getting lost ^G/B and it' will^Am always point^G/B our way home like^Cadd9 that old rugged^D cross

A hundred^G years and it just^D/F# grew ^Emonly heaven^G/B knew what it'd^Cadd9 be And who'd hang^D on that tree it^Cadd9 held the Son of God like it^D should ^{Dadd4 D} But I^Cadd9 know it broke the^D heart of the^G wood^D

^G I think what made granddaddy great was^D/F# that he didn't work all day I'd^Cadd9 love the time we spent I'd^D go everywhere that old man^G went
