Randy Travis - The Box guitar chord

The Box

By Randy Travis

A D E A

On the top shelf in the closet, in the workshop where he spent his extra time

A D E A

Was a dusty wooden box I had never noticed till that time

D A

Then we set it on the table and carefully we opened up the top

E A

And stared into the memory, Daddy kept inside the box

Chorus 1:

D A

There was a letter from Mamma, when she went out to Reno to help her sister out in 62

E

And a flower from Hawaii, when they went on vacation

A

It was the first time that my Daddy ever flew

D

And the pocket knife I gave to him on Fathers day

A

Years ago, I thought it had been lost

E

We all thought his heart was made of solid rock

A

But that was long before we found the box

I guess we always knew it_but "I love you" was hard for him to say

Some men show it easy and some just never seem to find the way

BUT that night I began__to see the softer side of some I had lost

I saw the love he kept inside the first time_we opened up the box

Chorus 2:

There was a picture that was taken, when he and Mom were dating standing by his 1944

And the faded leather Bible, he got when he was baptised

I guess no one understood him like the Lord

And the poem that he had written, about his wife and children

The tender words he spoke were quite a shock

We all thought his heart was made of solid rock

But that was long before we found the box

Yes that was long before we found the box
