Love without end, Amen
George Strait

D                                          G            D
I got sent home from school one day with a shiner on my eye,
                                                     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 rehearsed,
     D
then stood there on those trembling knees,
    A              D
and waited for the worse,

(chorus)

         D                         G               D
He said, let me tell you a secret about a father's love,
                                             A
a secret that my daddy said was just between us,
        G                 A
He said daddys don't just love their children
D             G
every now and then,
       D            A     D
It's a love without end, amen
                    A     D
it's a love without end, amen


D                             G           D
When I became a father in the spring of "81"

there was no doubt that stubborn boy,
                          A
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 on to him,


(chorus).........

        D
I said, let.............

       D            A     D        B
It's a love without end, Amen

     E
Last night I dreamed I died and,
         A                 E
stood outside those pearly gates,
                                              B
and suddenly I realized, there must be some mistake,
   A                      B
if they'ed known half the things I done,
        E            A
they'ed never let me in,
     E
then somewhere from the other side,
  B                 E
I heard these words again,


(chorus)

           E                         A              E
They said, let me tell you a secret about a fathers love
                                             B
a secret that my daddy said was just between us
         A                  B                   E             A
you see, daddy's just don't love their children every now and then
       E            B     E
it's a love without end, amen
       E            B     E
it's a love without end, amen
