Intro
Buddy, you and me go way back
Camp Le juene, all through ([G/f#]) high school and be fore that
So I don't mind tellin' you I'm scared to death
The doctor's goin' in on the twenty-fifth
It's the (/) same thing my daddy had
Thank God they caught it fast
But if something should (*) happ en
Stop (*) in sometime and say hello to Cather ine
You and Mary Ann could al ways keep her laughin'
She's gonna need alot of that
Take her out to (*) movi
It's gonna (*) take some time be fore she's back on her feet
I know you think that I'll be fine and I'm talkin' cr azy
But there's always that chance
That's why I'm askin'
If something should happen
Little Nathan's growin' up so fast
This November he'll turn ([G/f#]) ten, he wants to play quarterback
I'm supposed to coach his team this fall
But, I may not get to after all
He's gonna (/) need someone to catch a pass
And to throw it back
If something should (*) happ en
(*) Promise me you'll take that boy out camp in'
And throw a line out in the water every now and then
Answer any questions that he has
Maybe once he gets (*) old er
You could (*) sit and have that first cold beer to geth Dsus2 er
And tell him a couple stories on his father
He's always known you're my best fr iend
That's why I'm askin'
If something should happen
I hope I live until I'm 80
And I get to see my son get married
And have babies
And make a million more ([G/f#]) memories with my wife
Buddy, I pray you're right
But, if it's my time to ([G/f#]) leave, will you watch over them for me
If something should happen
If something should happen
If something should happen
Repeat and fade out...
