Tougher Than Nails

(Capo 1st fret)


INtro - E - A = 4x's


(verse 1)
E                             A
Little boy walks in with a bloody nose,
E              A                   E      D   A
Got beat up on his way home from school, aga-in,
E                         A
His dad caught him running out the back,
E                         A         E  A      E
Tears in his eyes and a baseball bat,  oo revenge,


(bridge)
C#m                           Bsus       B
Said son I won't stop ya, but before you go,
        A                                              Bsus B C#m
Let me tell you a little story bout the toughest man I know,



(chorus)
         A               B                E
You hit him and he just turns the other cheek,
        A           B           C#m - B
Don't think for a minute he was weak,
      A          B
Cause in the end he showed them,
        E    B        A
He was any-thing but frail,
      C#m                   Bsus B
They hammered him to a cross,
                          E - A = 2x's
But he was tougher than nails,




(verse 2)
          E                        A
Well he droped that bat like it weighed a ton,
E                      A                E   A            D   A
Father put his arms around his son and said, just let it go--oo,
E                    A
Believe me I've been in your shoes,
        E                      A    E   A             E
Had to ask myself what would Jesus  do,   here's what I know,


(bridge)
C#m                      Bsus             B
Whenever I'm in doubt, I look up what he said,
      A                             Bsus                B C#m
It's all there in the good book, in black and white and red,

     A               B                E
Hit him and he just turns the other cheek,
        A           B           C#m - B
Don't think for a minute he was weak,
      A          B
Cause in the end he showed them,
        E    B        A
He was any-thing but frail,
      C#m                   Bsus B
They hammered him to a cross,
                          E - A
But he was tougher than nails,
    A          B
Yea in the end he showed them,
        E    B        A
He was any-thing but frail,
      C#m                   Bsus B
They hammered him to a cross,
                          E - A - E - A
But he was tougher than nails,
              E - A - E - A       E
Tougher than nails,       oh, oh, oh,
