Baug = xx5443  OR  x21000

Intro: (G)  (G) 

(G) Old man Wrigley lived in that white house
(D/F#) Down the street where I grew up
(Em7) Momma used to send me over with things
(G) We struck a friendship (G7) up
(C) I spent a few long summers (D) out on his old porch (G) swing

(G) Says he was in the war when in the Navy
(D/F#) Lost his wife, lost his baby
(Em7) Broke down and asked him on time
(G) How ya keep from going cr(G7)a(C)zy
He said I'll see my wife and son in just a little while
I asked him what he meant
(D) He looked at me
Smiled and said..

  I (D7) rasie my (G) hands
  Bow my (D7) head
  I'm (C) finding more and (G/B) more truth
  In the (C) words written in red
  They (Am7) tell me that there's (G/B) more to life
  Than (C) just what I can see (D)
  Oh, I be(G)lieve   (on the first and third chorus only)

(G) Few years later I was off at college
(D/F#) Talkin' to mom on the phone one night
(Em7) Getting all caught up on the gossip
(G) The ins and outs of the small town (G7) life
(C) She said oh by the way, son
(D) Old man Wrigley's di(G)ed

(G) Later on that night
I (D/F#) laid there thinkin' back
(Em7) Thought 'bout couple long-lost summers
(G) I didn't know whether to cry or la(G7)ugh (C)
If there was ever anybody
Deserved a ticket to the other side
(D) I'd be that sweet old man
Who looked me in the eye said

CHORUS

(Em) I can't quote the book
The (Baug) chapter or the verse
You (Am7) can't tell me (G/B) it all ends
In a (Cm7) slow ride in a (A7) hearse
You (Am7) know I'm more and (G/B) more convinced
The (C) longer that I live
This (Am7) can't be
No, this (G/B) can't be
No, this (C) can't be all there (D) is

CHORUS AND FADE OUT
