Fingerings :
The Easiest Method Is To Place The Ring Finger On The 3Rd Fret Of The 2Nd String And
Build All Chords Around That Pivot Point. Lift Briefly When Needed. This Way It's
Easy To Achieve A Nice Clean Sound While Barely Having To Move The Left Hand During
The Whole Song.

Continue The Picking Pattern From The Intro In The Verses. Detailed Picking Patterns
For The Choruses Can Be Found Below The Song.
Intro
Verse 1
Loving You Is Like Splitting Wood
I'd Tell You All About It If I Only Could
There's A Light In You That I Sometimes See
But I Feel So Cold When You're Next To Me

Verse 2
They Say To Hold On Tight To Something Good
But My Hands Are Tired And Misunderstood
Lying Next To You How The Time Slows By
While My Heart Is Wandering In The Pines
Chorus 2
Oh Lover, Could You Ease My Mind?
Cause These Troubles Make Me Feel So Tired
Oh, If I Don't Love You Like I Should
It's Cause Loving You Is Like Splitting Wood
Like Splitting Wood (Like Splitting Wood)
Verse 3
Like The Lonely Silence Of The Falling Snow
There's So Much About Me That You'll Never Know
I Want To Know Your Hand Like The Back Of Mine
Your Darkest Woods And Your Timberlines

Oh Lover, Could You Ease My Mind?
Cause These Troubles Make Me Feel So Tired
Oh, If I Don't Love You Like I Should
It's Cause Loving You Is Like Splitting Wood

No Real Text, Just "Ooh", Whereas Choruses 2, 3, 5 And 6 Feature Lyrics. Both Groups
Are Harmonically The Same, But Played Differently.
On Top Of That, Their Last Lines Differ, Except For Choruses 3, 4 And 5, Which Share
