Chain Of Love

By: Clay Walker          Transcribed By: Paul Stranieri

key of D

(Verse)
D
He was drivin' home one evening in his beat up Pontiac

When an old lady flagged him down her Mercedez had a flat
         A
He could see that she was frightened, standin' out there in the snow
                                                            D
Til he said I'm here to help you maam, by the way my name's Joe

(Verse)
D
She said "I'm from St-Louis" and I'm only passin' through

I must've seen one hundred cars go by this is awful nice of you
        A
When he changed the tire and closed her trunk and was about to drive away
                                                      D
She said how much do I owe you; here's what he had to say

(Chorus)
                   G                      D
You don't owe me a thing; I've been there too
            A
And someone once helped me out
         D
Just the way I'm helping you
       G
If you really want to pay me back
D
Here's what you do
                            A        D
Don't let the chain of love end with you

(Verse)
D
Well 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
        A
But she couldn't help but notice how the waitress smiled so sweet
                                                            D
And how she must've been eight months along and dead on her feet

(Verse)
D
And though she didn't know her story and probably never will

When the waitress went to get her change from a hundred dollar bill
    A
The lady slipped right out the door and on a napkin left a note
                                                              D
There were tears in the waitress' eyes when she read what she wrote

Repeat Chorus

(Verse)
D
That night when she got home from work the waitress climbed into bed

She was thinkin' about the money and what the lady's note had said
       A
As her husband lay there sleepin' she whispered soft and low
                                            D
Everything's gonna be alright; I love you - Joe
