G D G D A D
[Verse 1]
He was Gborn in the Dwoods, Atorn from his Bmhome.
Well, he was Gnaked, and Ddestined to be Gout on his Aown.
And he Gwaited in Adarkness, hoping Dsomeone might Bmsee,
From Gsomething so Drough, what a GtreasurDe Ahe'd Dbe.
[Chorus]
GStronger than Asteel and Dwood.
GSeen me through the Abad and Dgood.
And when I'm Ghanging by a Astring, Devery little Bmthing is undeGrstoodA  
Between Martin and me.
[Verse 2]
Well he's Ghollow in the Dmiddle from the Ashape that he's Bmin.
He's either Gfilled up with Dmusic or locked Gin his shell Aagain.
And it Gtakes some fine Atuning to Dmake him come Bmaround,
But he's a Ghuge piece of Dme and I'll GneveDr Aput him Ddown.
[Chorus]
GStronger than Asteel and Dwood.
GSeen me through the Abad and Dgood.
And when I'm Ghanging by a Astring, Devery little Bmthing is underGstoodA  
Between Martin and me.
[Verse 3]
He is a Ggood Dfriend, and he Ahas his own Bmvoice.
And you Gget what you Dgive; somAetimes it's just Dnoise.
But Gif you treat him Dwell he will Alast your life Bmlong.
And if you're Ghonest and Dopen well, he will Gwrite Dyou Aa Dsong.
(Write you a song, write you a song)
[Chorus]
GStronger than Asteel and Dwood.
GSeen me through the Abad and Dgood.
And when I'm Ghanging by a Astring, Devery little Bmthing is undeGrstoodA  
And when I'm Ghanging by a Astring, Devery little Bmthing is undeGrstoodA  
Between Martin and me.

[Verse 1]

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.

[Chorus]

Stronger than steel and wood.

Seen me through the bad and good.

And when I'm hanging by a string, every little thing is understood

Between Martin and me.

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.

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.

[Chorus]

Stronger than steel and wood.

Seen me through the bad and good.

And you get what you give; sometimes it's just noise.

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)

Stronger than steel and wood.

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
