"With a lot of life before me, 
 5  -5 6   6    6   6     6    -5  5  -3   6 
When a moment came that stopped me on  a  dime.

talkin’ ‘bout 
  7    6-55 5   6    7   7   6   7   6-5 
sweet time."I asked him when it sank in, 
 5   -5    -5   -5  5 -5   5    6  -55 
That this might really be the real end? 
 -5   5   6   4  -5   5   6   -5    5  4   6

"I went two point seven seconds on a bull

named Fu Man Chu. 
  7  7   7   7  6-5 -5  5  7    7   6-5   
"And I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter, 
 -5  5 -7   7  -7   6   6   -6   7  7  6-55 
"And I gave forgiveness I'd been de ny ing." 
 -3  4  -3    -6   -6  -6  -6  6-5 -5  5

He said "I was finally the husband, 
 -5   6    6    6  6  6  5 
That most the time I wasn’t. 
 5  5 -5  6  6   6    6    6    -5    5   -3

 5  6  6     6     6    6   6 5  5  6    6 6-55
And I went three times that year I lost my Dad.

I finally read the Good Book, 
-5  5  -5 -5  -5   -5  -5     6 
And I took a good long hard look, 
5   -5   5  6  4 -5   5    6 -5  5  4  6    
At what I'd do if I could do it all again, 

And then..

-3  4   -3    -6   -6  -6  -6  6-5 -5  5 
An' he said: "Some day, I hope you get the

And what did you do with  it?
