The Chain of Love
Clay Walker
CD: Live, Laugh, Love
Verse 1:
D
He was driving home one evening, In his beat up Pontiac
When an old lady flagged him down, Her Mercedes had a flat
A
He could see that she was frightened, Standing out there in the snow
D
ĪTil he said Iām here to help you maāam, By the way my name is Joe
Verse 2:
D
She said Iām from St. Louis, And Iām only passing through
I must have seen a hundred cars go by, This is awful nice of you
A
When he changed the tire, And closed her trunk
And was about to drive away, She said how much do I owe you
D
Hereās what he had to say
Chorus:
G D
You donāt owe me a thing, Iāve been there too
A D
Someone once helped me out, Just the way Iām helping you
G D G
If you really want to pay me back, Hereās what you do
D A D
Donāt let the chain of love end with you
Verse 3: (same chords as verses 1 and 2)
Well a few miles down the road, The lady saw a small cafe
She went in to grab a bite to eat, And then be on her way
But she couldnāt help but notice, How the waitress smiled so sweet
And how she mustāve been eight months along, And dead on her feet
Verse 4: (same chords as other verses)
And though she didnāt know her story, And she probably never will
When the waitress went to get her change, From a hundred dollar bill
The lady slipped right out the door, And on a napkin left a note
There were tears in the waitressās eyes, When she read what she wrote
Repeat chorus
Verse 5: (same chords as other verses)
That night when she got home from work, The waitress climbed into bed
She was thinkinā about the money, And what the ladyās note had said
As her husband lay there sleeping, She whispered soft and low
Everythingās gonna be alright, I love you, Joe
