Garth Brooks – Send Em On Down The Road (Guitar)

             D
He didn’t ask

             A
He didn’t pry

         Bm                D/F#             G
He just held the ice that covered my black eye

             D                  A
When that girl, she broke my heart

        Bm                   D/F#                    G
We just threw that baseball back and forth till dark

        A                       D/F#   G
When I started playing guitar, and didn’t have a clue

        A                       D/F#   G
He wanted to protect me, but somehow my father knew

        D
That you can cry for 'em

          A
live and die for 'em

             Bm              D/F#                 G
You can help them find their wings but you can’t fly for 'em

           D                             A
Cause if they’re not free to fall, then they’re not free at all

                  Bm               D/F#                G
And though you just can’t bear the thought of letting go

        D             A
Pick em up…. dust em off.. and Send Em on Down The Road

          D                    A
Little kiss, on a skinned up knee

              Bm              D/F#                G  
From playing soccer, riding bikes, and climbing trees

           D                  A
When bad dreams, fill their heads

             Bm                 D/F#                 G
I chase the monsters out from underneath their beds

        A                   D/F#   G
Guess I always knew those days, would end

        A                       D/F#   G
But the hardest thing I’ve ever learned has been…

        D
That you can cry for 'em

          A
live and die for 'em

          Bm                   D/F#               G
You can help them find their wings but you can’t fly for 'em 

           D                             A
Cause if they’re not free to fall, then they’re not free at all

                 Bm                D/F#           G
And though you just can’t bear the thought of letting go

        D       A
Pick em up…. dust em off.. and Send Em on Down The Road

        D
That you can cry for 'em

        A
live and die for 'em

           Bm   D                     D/F#         G
And even though its gonna break your heart, you let em go

        D       A
Pick em up…. dust em off.. 

              D                      G
You Hold em close…  and you pray a lot
