Boom Forest Wooden Heart Standard Tuning There weren't any tabs of this out there and it's such a great song that I just had to put one up. The chords aren't too hard but the order is a little tricky so I may have missed a few here and there. Also, I can't believe with a song this good that this guy isn't signed. But since Ultimate-Guitar doesn't recognize the band I had to put it under Misc Unsigned Bands. Shame. I don't know the proper names for the chords but this is what I mean when I show these things: -------------------------------- G G/Em G/A G/D G/B G/Em* e|--3--| |--3--| |--3--| |--3--| |--3--| |--3--| B|--3--| |--3--| |--3--| |--3--| |--3--| |--3--| G|--0--| |--0--| |--0--| |--2--| |--0--| |--0--| D|--0--| |--0--| |--2--| |--0--| |--0--| |--0--| A|--x--| |--2--| |--x--| |--x--| |--x--| |--2--| E|--3--| |--x--| |--x--| |--x--| |--2--| |--0--| The G/Em* he plays the E open at the top while keeping his finger on the second fret of the A string. I think there are variations to what he plays but both sound fine to me. -------- INTRO -------- G (tabs) -------- VERSE 1 -------- G/D G/Em G/A G As a young man I lived deep inside a forest G/D G/Em G/A G With a wooden heart to help me bide my time G/D G/Em G/A G You've heard stories like it a million times before this G/D G/Em G/A G But this is mine, this is mine G/Em G/A G/D G It's about a time when a man had felt he'd finally met his match G/Em* G/A G/D G She had lost her way while dancing in the shade G/Em* G/A G/D G And she told him if he'd carve her name into his wooden heart G/Em* G/A G/D She would stay, stay -------- CHORUS 1 -------- G G/B G/Em* But I lived inside a wooden heart G G/B G/A I couldn't, couldn't see the forest for the trees G G/B G/Em* But if I would come down for anyone G/D G G/D G G/D G G/D G It was she, it was she, it was she, it was she -------- VERSE 2 -------- G/D G/Em G/A G So the shadow dancer made a proposition G/D G/Em G/A G And my wooden heart was still em-petrified G/D G/Em G/A G I had lived alone for so long in that forest G/D G/Em G/A G That I could not bear to share it with a bride G/Em* G/A G/D G So I sent that girl away and all I gave her was a lie G/Em* G/A G/D G I said everything worthwhile would come in time G/Em* G/A G/D G And since she's gone away I swear I've never felt so alone G/Em* G/A Living in a wooden heart inside my mind -------- CHORUS 2 -------- G G/B G/Em* But I lived inside a wooden heart G G/B G/A I couldn't, couldn't see the forest for the trees G G/B G/Em* But if I would come down for anyone G/D G G/D G G/D G G/D G It was she, it was she, it was she, it was she -------- VERSE 3 -------- G/D G/Em G/A G For years I wandered nights inside the forest G/D G/Em G/A G Crying as her name would echo from the trees G/D G/Em G/A G Though years have past since last I left the forest G/D G/Em G/A G I can hear her dance in every shadow that I see D Fin.
