Verse 1
   C                               
I got sent home from school one day
          F           C
 with a shiner on my eye
                                    
                 G*  (fill)
Fightin' was against the rules and 
it didn't matter why
      F              G            
When dad got home I told that 
   C               F
story just like I'd rehearsed
       C                           
Then stood there on those trembling
            G              C
 knees and waited for the worst


(G*  fill)

Chorus
         C                      
He said let me tell you a secret 
   F               C
about a father's love
A secret that my daddy said was just
           G
 between us
           F                  G   
He said, "Daddies don't just love 
               C               F
their children every now and then

        C             G      C   
It's a love without end, Amen;

it's a love without end, Amen"


Verse 2
     C                           F
When I became a father in the 
        C
spring of '81
There was no doubt that stubborn boy
                            G
 was just like my father's son
      F                G          
And when I thought my patience had
       C            F
 been tested to the end
   C                          
I took my daddy's secret and I 
  G                C
passed it on to him


Chorus
        C                      
I said let me tell you a secret 
   F               C
about a father's love
A secret that my daddy said was just
           G
 between us
          F                  G 
I said, "Daddies don't just love 
                 C               F
their children every now and then
        C             G      C   
It's a love without end, Amen; 
                    G        C    A
it's a love without end, Amen"


Verse 3
      D                        
Last night I dreamed I died and 
           G                 D
stood outside those pearly gates
When suddenly I realized there must 
            A
be some mistake
     G                  A         
If they know half the things I've 
              D             G
done they'll never let me in
        D                          
Then a somewhere from the other 
          A                  D
side and I heard these words again


Chorus
           D                       
They said let me tell you a secret 
  G               D
about a father's love
A secret that my daddy said was just
           A
 between us
          G                  A 
You see, Daddies don't just love 
                 D               G
their children every now and then
        D            A      D    
It's a love without end, Amen; 
                    A      D
it's a love without end, Amen
