This song, as recorded on Randy Travis's album is in the Key of G#
Kapo 1 and play in the key of G
Intro: G, Am, C, D, G,
Verse 1:
G Am
I was supposed to be the rock you could stand on
C G D
Stronger than an old oak tree
G Am
But all you ever wanted was the one thing
C D G
I never let you see The tender side of me
Em C
I tried to be a mountain solid and strong
G
All it took was your leavin'
D N/C
To know I was wrong
D G C
A man ain't made of stone
G
A man ain't made of steel
D
The way I feel right now
C G
I thought I'd never feel
C D G
Sometimes all it takes is facing the night alone
C
And that's when you know
D G
A man ain't made of stone
Am C D G
Verse 2:
G Am
In this world of mine there was no room for weakness
C G D
I covered every crack in the wall
G Am
But there ain't no way that I can keep this secret
C D G
'Cause when you go, like Jerico, I fall
Em
You thought I wouldn't shatter
C
Would I even care
G
But there's more to what I'm made of
D
Than this broken heart can bear
Chorus
G C D G
Sometimes all it takes is facing the night alone
C
That's when you know
D G
A man ain't made of stone
C
And that's when you know
D G
A man ain't made of stone
