      THE CHAIN OF LOVE    Clay Walker
D
He was driving home one evening, in his beat up pontiac
D
When an old lady flagged him down her mercades had a flat
          A                  Em              A                Em
He could see that she was frighten standing out there in the snow
         A                                                       D
Till he said, "I'm here to help you, ma'am By the way my name's Joe
D  
She said, "I'm from St. Louis and I'm only passing through."
D          
"I must have seen a hundred cars go by. This is awful nice of you."
          A                    Em
When he changed her tire and closed her trunk
      A             Em              A  
Was about to drive away she said, "How much do I owe you."
A                      D
Here's what he had to say.

CHORUS:
                      G                     D
You don't owe me a thing.  I've been there too.
          A                          D    
Someone once helped me out just the way I'm helping you
         G                          D                  G
If you really want to pay me back Here's what you can do
G                D   G  Bm  Em   A    D 
Don't let the chain of love end with you.


D
Well a few miles down the road the lady saw a small café
D
She went in to grab a bite to eat and then be on her way
           A                Em               A               Em
But she couldn't help but notice how the waitress smiled so sweet
              A                                                D     
And how she must have been eight months along and dead on her feet
D
No, she didn't know her story and she probably never will.
D
When the waitress went to get her change from a hundred dollar bill
            A                   Em             A            Em
The lady slipped right out the door and on a napkin left a note
             A                                                    D
There were tears in the waitress's eyes when she read what she wrote.

Go to chorus
D
That night when she got home from work The watiress climbed in to bed
D
She was thinking about the money and what the ladie's note had said
         A                 Em            A               Em
As her husband lay there sleeping she whispered soft and low
  A                                         D
Everything's gonna be alright.  I love you Joe.
