"1 Last Fence To Mend"
(G) (Am7)
I got a call from my mama ,last Sunday night
(D) (G)
said son hurry home ,your dad's not feelin right
(G) (C)
I know he's never been all that good to you....
(Am7) (D) (G)
but the doctor's not sure, if he'll pull on through
(G) (Am7)
So I jumped in my car, drove extra fast
(D) (G)
prayin to the Lord, for time to fix the past
(G) (C)
even tho he's made my life a livin hell....
(Am7) (D) (G)
he'd be so proud to see that I'm doin' well
(chorus)
(Bb) (Em) (C) (G)
God, grant me a little more time, please..... if you can,
(C) (G)
I've got so much for him to see and do.....
(D) (G)
and 1 last fence to mend too
(G) (Am7)
I rushed in the house ,hoping there was time
(D) (G)
saw my mama kneelin ,at his beside cryin
(G) (C)
I reached down to grab him by his frail hand .....
(Am7) (D) (G)
said "Daddy ,please fight this longer if you can"
(G) (Am7)
But in my heart of hearts, I had to face
(D) (G)
that this might be the last, time we'd embrace
(G) (C)
so I looked him in the eyes and let my heart speak the truth....
(Am7) (D) (G)
said Daddy I want you to know, how much I love you
(chorus)
(Bb) (Em) (C) (G)
God, I know he's bein called home but I need more time
(C) (G) (D) (G)

(C) (G) (D)

(G) (D) (G)
