The Chain of Love Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][G][D]

[Verse 1]
He was [D]driving home one evening
In his beat- up Pontiac
When an old lady flagged him down
Her Mercedes had a flat

[Verse 2]
He [A]could see that she was
[D]frightened
Standing [A]out there in [D]the snow
'Til [A]he said 'I'm here to help you,
ma'm
By the way, my [D]name's Joe'

[Verse 3]
[D]She said 'I'm from St. Louis
And I'm only passing through
I must've seen a hundred cars go by
This is awful nice of you'

[Verse 4]
When he [A]changed the tire
And closed [D]her trunk
And was [A]about to drive [D]away
She said [A]'How much do I owe you?'
Here's what he had to say
[D]

[Verse 5]
'You don't owe me [G]a thing
I've been there [D]too
Someone [A]once helped me out
Just [D]the way I'm helping you
If you [G]really wanna pay me back
[D]Here's what you do[G]
Don't let the [D]chain of
love [A]end with [D]you'

[Verse 6]
Well, [D]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

[Verse 7]
But she [A]couldn't help but notice
[D]How the[A] waitress smiled so swe[D]et
She [A]must have been eight months
Along and dead on her [D]feet

[Verse 8]
No, she [D]didn't know her story
And she probably never will
When the waitress went to get her
Change from a hundred dollar bill

[Verse 9]
The lady [A]slipped right out the [D]door
And on [A]a nakpin left a[D] note
There [A]were tears in the waitress' eyes
When she read what she'd
[D]wrote

[Verse 10]
'You don't owe me [G]a thing[D][G]
I've been there [D]too
Someone [A]once helped me out
Just [D]the way I'm help[Em]ing y[D]ou
If you [G]really wanna pay me back
[D]Here's what you do[G]
Don't let the [D]chain of
love [A]end [D]with you'

[Verse 11]
[D]
That night when she got
Home from work
The waitress climbed into bed
She was thinking about the money
And what the lady's note had said
As her [A]husband lay there
sleep[D]ing
[A]She whispered soft [D]an d low
[A]'Everything's gonna be alright
I love [D]you, Joe'
