C He was drivin' home one evenin' In his beat up Pontiac
When an old lady flagged him down her Mercedes had a flat
G He could see that she was frightened standin' out there in the snow
C Till he said I'm here to help you Maam by the way my na---mes Joe
(Verse 2)
She said I'm from St Louis and I'm only passin' through
I must have seen a hundred cars go by this is awful nice of you
G Then he changed the tire and closed her trunk and was about to drive away
C She said how much do I owe you and here's what he had to say
CHORUS:
N/C F C
You don't owe me a thiiinngg, I've been there too
G So C me C7 one once helped me out Just the way I'm helpin' you
F If C y F ou really wanna pay me back here's what you do
N/C C F C G C
Don't let the chain of love end with you
(Verse 3)
C And then 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
G But she couldn't help but notice how the waitress smiled so sweet
C And how she must have been eight months along and dead on her feet
(Verse 4)
C But she didn't know her story and she probably never will
When the waitress went to get her change from a hundred dollar bill
G The lady slipped right out the door And on a napkin left a note
C There were tears in the waitress eyes when she read what she wrote
Repeat Chorus:
(Verse 5)
C That night when she got home from work the waitress climbed into bed
She was thinkin' 'bout the money and what the ladies note had said
G As her husband layed there sleepin' She whispered soft and low
C Everything's gonna be alright I love you Joe
