THE CHAIN OF LOVE Clay Walker
D
He was driving home one evening, in his beat up pontiac
D
When an old lady flagged him down her mercades had a flat
A Em A Em
He could see that she was frighten standing out there in the snow
A D
Till he said, "I'm here to help you, ma'am By the way my name's Joe
D
She said, "I'm from St. Louis and I'm only passing through."
D
"I must have seen a hundred cars go by. This is awful nice of you."
A Em
When he changed her tire and closed her trunk
A Em A
Was about to drive away she said, "How much do I owe you."
A D
Here's what he had to say.
CHORUS:
G D
You don't owe me a thing. I've been there too.
A D
Someone once helped me out just the way I'm helping you
G D G
If you really want to pay me back Here's what you can do
G D G Bm Em A D
Don't let the chain of love end with you.
D
Well a few miles down the road the lady saw a small café
D
She went in to grab a bite to eat and then be on her way
A Em A Em
But she couldn't help but notice how the waitress smiled so sweet
A D
And how she must have been eight months along and dead on her feet
D
No, she didn't know her story and she probably never will.
D
When the waitress went to get her change from a hundred dollar bill
A Em A Em
The lady slipped right out the door and on a napkin left a note
A D
There were tears in the waitress's eyes when she read what she wrote.
Go to chorus
D
That night when she got home from work The watiress climbed in to bed
D
She was thinking about the money and what the ladie's note had said
A Em A Em
As her husband lay there sleeping she whispered soft and low
A D
Everything's gonna be alright. I love you Joe.
Instrumental to ending.
