RE SOL RE
I got sent home from school one day with a shiner on my eye
SOL LA
Cause fighting was against the rules and it didn't matter why
SOL LA RE SOL
When dad got home I told that story just like I'd rehearsed
RE LA RE
Then stood there almost trembling and waited for the worst
** Refrain **
RE SOL RE
He (I, they) said let me tell you a secret about a father's love
SOL LA
A secret that my daddy said was just between us
SOL LA RE SOL
You see daddy's don't just love their children every now and then
RE LA RE LA RE
It's a love without end, amen It's a love without end, amen
(Chords same as above)
When I became a father in the spring of '81
There was no doubt that stubborn boy was just like my father's son
And when I thought my patience had been tested to the end
I took my daddy's secret and I passed it on to him
Last night I dreamed I died and stood outside those pearly gates
When suddenly I realized there must be some mistake
If they knew half the things I've done they'll never let me in
Then a somewhere from the other side and I heard these words again
