Intro: G D A Bm | G D G D A D

     G       D    A         Bm
He was born in the woods, torn from his home.
         G       D         G       A
Well, he was naked, and destined to be out on his own.
     G      A           D         Bm
And he waited in darkness, hoping someone might see,
   G        D         G    D A   D
From something so rough, what a treasure he'd be.

G         A      D
Stronger than steel and wood.
G             A     D
Seen me through the bad and good.
         G        A     D        Bm       G     A
And when I'm hanging by a string, every little thing 
is understood
Between Martin and me.

       G         D          A          Bm
Well he's hollow in the middle from the shape that he's in.
        G         D          G        A
He's either filled up with music or locked in his shell again.
     G          A      D         Bm
And it takes some fine tuning to make him come around,
       G         D       G  D A     D
But he's a huge piece of me and I'll never put him down.

G         A      D
Stronger than steel and wood.
G             A     D
Seen me through the bad and good.
         G        A     D        Bm        G    A
And when I'm hanging by a string, every little thing 
is understood
Between Martin and me.

     G   D         A       Bm
He is a good friend, and he has his own voice.
     G        D     A           D
And you get what you give; sometimes it's just noise.
   G           D        A         Bm
But if you treat him well he will last your life long.
         G       D            G   D  A D
And if you're honest and open well, he will write you a song.
(Write you a song, write you a song)

G         A      D
Stronger than steel and wood.
G             A     D
Seen me through the bad and good.
         G        A     D        Bm       G    A
And when I'm hanging by a string, every little thing is understood
         G        A     D        Bm       G    A
And when I'm hanging by a string, every little thing 
is understood
Between Martin and me.
