[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


[Interlude]

[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
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 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
