[Verse]
  D                                        G            D
I got sent home from school one day with a shiner on my eye
D                                                    A
Fightin' 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
And then stood there on those tremblin' knees and waited for the worst
 
[Chorus]
              D                         G                D
And 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
He said, "Daddies don't just love their children every now and then
       D             A    D           D             A    D
It's a love without end, amen, it's a love without end, amen"

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]
             D                         G                D
And I 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
I said, "Daddies don't just love their children every now and then
       D             A    D           D             A    D      B7
It's a love without end, amen, it's a love without end, amen"
 
[Verse 3]
     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 know half the things I've done, they'll never let me in.
         E                               B                   E
And then somewhere from the other side I heard these words again.
 
[Chorus]
                E                         A                E
And 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
You see, "Daddies don't just love their children every now and then
       E             B    E           E             B    E       E
It's a love without end, amen, it's a love without end, amen"
