Send Em On Down The Road

D     G  2x

             D
He didn’t ask
             A
He didn’t pry
         Bm                D/F#   
He just held the ice that covered 
          G
my black eye
             D                  A
When that girl, she broke my heart
        Bm                   D/F# 
We just threw that baseball back 
                   G
and forth till dark
        A                       
When I started playing guitar, 
D/F#   G
and didn’t have a clue
        A                       
He wanted to protect me, but 
D/F#   G
somehow my father knew

[Chorus]
        D
That you can cry for 'em
          A
live and die for 'em
             Bm              D/F# 
You can help them find their wings
                G
 but you can’t fly for 'em
           D                       
Cause if they’re not free to fall, 
      A
then they’re not free at all
                  Bm               
And though you just can’t bear the 
D/F#                G
thought of letting go

[Verse 2]
          D                    A
Little kiss, on a skinned up knee
              Bm              D/F#
From playing soccer, riding bikes,
                G
 and climbing trees
           D                  A
When bad dreams, fill their heads
             Bm              
I chase the monsters out from 
   D/F#                 G
underneath their beds
        A                   
Guess I always knew those days, 
D/F#   G
would end
        A                       
But the hardest thing I’ve ever 
D/F#   G
learned has been…

[Chorus]

        D
That you can cry for 'em
          A
live and die for 'em
          Bm                   
You can help them find their 
D/F#               G
wings but you can’t fly for 'em
           D                       
Cause if they’re not free to fall, 
      A
then they’re not free at all
                 Bm                
And though you just can’t bear the 
D/F#           G
thought of letting go
        D       A
Pick em up…. dust em off.. and Send 
Em on Down The Road

[Solo]

D   A    Bm   D/F#    G

        D
That you can cry for 'em
        A
live and die for 'em
           Bm   D                 
And even though its gonna break 
    D/F#         G
your heart, you let em go
        D       A
Pick em up…. dust em off..
              D                    
You Hold em close…  and you pray a 
  G
lot

Send em on down the road
