I got sent home from school one day with a shiner on my eye
G A
Cause 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 there almost trembling and waited for the worst
** Refrain **
D G D
He (I, they) said let me tell you a secret about a father's love
G A
A secret that my daddy said was just between us
G A D G
You see daddy's don't just love their children every now and then
D A D A D
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
