Version 1[Intro] D [Verse] D G D I got sent home from school one day with a shiner on my eye. D A Fightin' was against the rules and it didn't matter why. G A D G When dad got home I told that story just like I'd rehearsed. D A D And then stood there on those tremblin' knees and waited for the worst. [Chorus] D G D And he said, "Let me tell you a secret about a father's love." D A A secret that my daddy said was just between us. G A D G He said, "Daddies don't just love their children every now and then. D A D D A D It's a love without end, amen, it's a love without end, amen." [Verse 2] D G D When I became a father in the spring of '81 D A There was no doubt that stubborn boy was just like my father's son. G A D G And when I thought my patience had been tested to the end, D A D I took my daddy's secret and I passed it on to him. [Chorus] D G D And I said, "Let me tell you a secret about a father's love." D A A secret that my daddy said was just between us. G A D G I said, "Daddies don't just love their children every now and then. D A D D A D B It's a love without end, amen, it's a love without end, amen." [Verse 3] E A E Last night I dreamed I died and stood outside those pearly gates. E B When suddenly I realized there must be some mistake. A B E A If they know half the things I've done, they'll never let me in. E B E And then somewhere from the other side I heard these words again. [Chorus] E A E And they said, "Let me tell you a secret about a father's love." E B A secret that my daddy said was just between us. A B E A You see, "Daddies don't just love their children every now and then. E B E E B E E It's a love without end, amen, it's a love without end, amen."
