[Verse 1]
Am                                               C
I can feel your arms around me like it was yesterday
      G                                                      Am
I can feel your breathin' next to me, and hear your laughter gay
 
You tried to tell me what was right and I told you what was real
G                                                 Am
All I ever live for now is this piece of wood and steel
 
[Verse 2]
Am                                                       C
In a world that's full of trouble, a world that's full of pain,lord
G                                              Am
Many fall beside the road, and they never rise again.
 
Many more are bended low or broken at their will
G                                               Am
All I need to carry on is this piece of wood and steel
 
[Verse 3]
Bm                                                   D
I was born my mother's only son she loves me all she can,
          A                                        Bm
but there isnt much to say to her since I became a man
 
I often met the devil, but I never made a deal
       A                                                       Bm
I just thank the lord for hands to play this piece of wood and steel
 
[Verse 4]
Cm                                                        Eb
It's face is scarred and beaten,like the ragged clothes I wear
         Bb                                            Cm
Like the body that god gave me, I might give it better care
 
But I play it for the ladies and I play it for a meal
  Bb                                                               Cm
I play the strings just to hear 'em ring on this piece of wood and steel.
 
[Verse 5]
Dm                                                       F
I'm growin' tired of searchin' now there's nothing more I crave
C                                                     Dm
Give or take a little time and you can write it on my grave
 
There's nothin' more that I care to own, nothin' left to feel
C                                            Dm
All I ever wanted was this piece of wood and steel
 
Play that guitar
 
Dm
 
Repeat Verses 1, 2 and 3 all in Dm

the Cm in the last verse doesn't sound right to me; couldn't it be a Dm, instead? thanks for posting this, it's a great song!
