Believe

capo 1 G Old man Wrigley lived in that white house, D Down the street where I grew up. Em Momma used to send me over with things C We struck a friendship up. G D G I spent a few long summers, out on his old porch swing. G Says he was in the war went in the Navy. D Lost his wife lost his baby. Em Broke down and asked him one time C How ya keep from going cra-zy G D He said I'll see my wife and son in just a little while Em I asked him what he meant C He looked at me Smiled and said.. G I raise my hands. D Bow my head Em I'm finding more and more truth C In the words written in red Am They tell me that there's more to life C Than just what I can see G D Oh I believe, mmm-mmm Few years later I was off at college Talkin' to mom on the phone one night Getting all caught up on the gossip The ins and outs of the small town life She said oh by the way, son Old man Wrigley's died Later on that night I laid there thinkin' back Thought 'bout couple long-lost summers I didn't know whether to cry or laugh If there was ever anybody Deserved a ticket to the other side I'd be that sweet old man Who looked me in the eye said -Chorus- (Without the last line, 'Oh I Believe') Em I can't quote the book C The chapter or the verse G You can't tell me it all ends A In a slow ride in a hearse Am You know I'm more and more convinced G The longer that I live Am This can't be Am No this can't be C D No this can't be all there is. Chorus...... A C D G G F ........oh I-----I believe------I belive------(I be-lieve) 6 times fading out
