Verse 1
             G 
My back is strong as it can be 
               D         G 
Stands up like - a cedar tree 
           G 
Hands are always reaching out 
                  D                   G 
Chest breathes in - and my voice can shout 
 
Chorus
         C                 G 
But you know I need you, woman 
           C               G 
Need your love to warm my bones 
     C                 G 
You know I need you‚ woman 
             D              G 
Take my hand - and lead me home

Verse 2
               G 
My legs‚ they never let me down 
              D                G 
Eyes are blue - and my hair is brown 
              G 
My arms have carried cords of wood 
              D                G 
My body works - just like it should 
 
Chorus
         C                 G

Need your love to warm my bones

Verse 3
          G 
Wrinkled lines around my smile 
                D           G 
Scars for every - thousand miles 
         G 
Muscles round the things I know 
               D               G 
Keeps my heart - from growing cold 
 
Verse 4
           G 
The wind sings me a lullaby 
               D             G 
Horizon's just - the distant sky 
              G 
And when the rain gets in my soul 
               D                 G 
I guess I know - just where I'll go 
 
Chorus
         C                 G 
'Cause you know I need you, woman 
           C               G 
Need your love to warm my bones 
     C                 G 
You know I need you‚ woman 
             D              G 
Take my hand - and lead me home 
             D              G 
Take my hand - and lead me home
