D G D
I got sent home from school one day with a shiner on my eye
D A
Fighting was against the rules, and it didn't matter why
G A D G
When Dad got home I told that story just like I'd rehearsed
D A D
Then stood on those trembling knees and waited for the worst
(Chorus)
D G D
He said: "Let me tell you a secret about a father's love"
D A
A secret that my Daddy said was just between us
G A D G
"See Daddy's don't just love their children every now and then."
D A D
"It's a Love without End, Amen."
D A D
"It's a Love without End, Amen."
D G D
When I became a father in the Spring of '81
D A
There was no doubt that stubborn boy was just like my father's Son
G A D G
And when I thought my patience had been tested to the end
D A D
I took my Daddy's secret, and I passed it on to him
(Chorus)
Transition (B)
E A E
Last night I dreamed I died and stood outside those pearly gates
E B
When suddenly I realized there must be some mistake
A B E A
If they knew half the things I've done they'll never let me in
E B E
Then somewhere from the other side I heard these words again
(Chorus- with new chords)
E A E
They Said: "Let me tell you a secret about a father's Love"
E B
A secret that my Daddy said was just between us
A B E A
See, Daddy's don't just love their children every now and then
A E B E
It's a Love without End, Amen.
E B E
It's a Love without End, Amen.
