The Chain Of Love

[D]He was driving home one evening in his beat up Poniac

when an old lady flagged him down her Mercedes had a
flat. [A]He could tell that she was frightened standing

out there in the snow till he said I'm here to help
you ma'am, [A7]by the way my names [D]Joe. She said I'm from

St. Louis and I'm only passing threw I must of seen a
hundred cars go by this is awfull nice of you [A]and as

he changed her tire and closed her trunk and was about

to drive away she said how much do I owe you [A7]here's
what he had to [D]say:

(chorus)

-------------------[G]                   [D]
You don't owe me a thing, I been there too. Someone
[A]once helped me out just the [D]way I'm helping you. If
    [G]                          [D]                [G]
you really want to pay me back, here's what you do:
--------------[D]     [G]  [D]    [A]        [D]
Don't let the chain of love end with you.

[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, [A]but she couldn't help but notice how the waitress

smiled so sweet. And how she must of been eight months

along and [A7]dead on her [D]feet. Though she didn't know her

story and she probably never will, when the waitress
went to get her change from a hundred dollar bill. [A]The

lady slipped right out ther door and on a napkin left

a note there were tears in the waitress eyes when she
[A7]read what she [D]wrote.

(Chorus)

[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. [A]And as her husband lie

there sleeping she whispered soft and low.
[A7]                             ----------  [D]
Everything's gonna be alright. I love you, Joe.
