It Carried Him

C Gm F C Gm F C

[Verse 1]
   C                G          Am
It laid upon the dashboard, of his 
old pickup truck.
   F                             
Or stuffed down in the pocket, of 
     G
his short sleeve button up.
      Em                        Am
 I've seen it in his toolbox, beside
 the tractor seat.
    F                        G    
 Wherever he was working, he kept 
          C
it within reach.

[Chorus]
G                     C     G   
It was he trusted companion, it 
                        C      G
was a rock and his best friend.
    Am              G            
 It was a truth, it was a light, 
F
when the path grew dim,

        C            G      
 and he carried it because it 
              C Gm F
carried him.

[Verse 2]
   C              G              
It carried him in strength, when he 
Am
was tired and down.
    F                           G
 It carried him with hope, when hope
 could not be found.
     Em7                           
 And when his love lay helpless, 
     Am
and he knew it was goodbye;
    F                         G   
 it promised him eternity and 
           C
peace for when he cried.

[Chorus]
G                     C     G   
It was he trusted companion, it 
                        C      G
was a rock and his best friend.
    Am              G            
 It was a truth, it was a light, 
F
when the path grew dim,
        C          G        
 and he carried it because it 
           C
carried him.

[Bridge]
Am                          
He read it every day, took it 
  F
everywhere he went.
        Dm                      
 And he beamed when he held that 
 C                   F
weathered, worn out testamant.

[Chorus]
G                 C         G   
It was he trusted companion, it 
                        C      G
was a rock and his best friend.
    Am              G            
 It was a truth, it was a light, 
F
when the path grew dim,
        C            G      
 and he carried it because it 
           C    Gm7 F C Gm F C
carried him.
