G                                          C          G  
I got sent home from school one day with a shiner on my eye 
                                              C            D  
Cause fighting was against the rules and it didn't matter why 
       C                D                 G               C  
When dad got home I told that story just like I'd rehearsed 
   G                                      D              G  
Then stood there almost trembling and waited for the worst 
 
Refrain:
                 G                          C               G  
He (I, they) said let me tell you a secret about a father's love 
                                  C            D  
 A  secret that my daddy said was just between us 
          C                    D               G            C  
You see daddy's don't just love their children every now and then 
         G              D       G                   D      G  
It's a love without end, amen  It's a love without end, amen 
 
When I became a father in the spring of '81 
There was no doubt that stubborn boy was just like my father's son 
And when I thought my patience had been tested to the end 
I took my daddy's secret and I passed it on to him 
 
Last night I dreamed I died and stood outside those pearly gates 
When suddenly I realized there must be some mistake 
If they knew half the things I've done they'll never let me in 
Then a somewhere from the other side and I heard these words again

Intro: C   C   G   C  
  
  G                              C  
 We said goodbye in Marina del Rey 
  D                             Em           D        C  
 "I had a good time" was the last thing I heard her say 
              G  
 As I walked away 
  G                           C  
 And on the plane back to Tennessee 
  D               D           Em  D  
 My mind comes across her memory 
      C            C            G  
 And yesterday in Marina del Rey 
  
 Chorus:
  C             C               C   C  
 On a hidden beach under a golden sun 
  G               D                Em    D  
 She spread a blanket that we laid down on 
      C                  C  
 And loved the world away 
                   G  
 In Marina del Rey 
  C           C                 C      C  
 And as we looked into each other's eyes 
  G              D                 Em  D  
 We found our bodies lost in paradise 
        C          D             G  
 Like castaways in Marina del Rey 
  
  C  C   G   C  

 Verse 2:
  G                       C  
 Like the ocean tides, highs and lows 
  D                Em      D       C  
 Love sometimes comes and goes away 
            G      D  
 In Marina del Rey 
  G                      C  
 And as this plane is touching down 
  D                         Em      D  
 Tears touch my eyes for I have found 
     C                  C            G  
 My heart has stayed in Marina del Rey 
  
 Chorus:
  C             C               C    C  
 On a hidden beach under a golden sun 
  G              D                 Em    D  
 She spread a blanket that we laid down on 
      C  
 And loved the world away 
                  G  D  
 In Marina del Rey 
  C  
 And as we looked into each other's eyes 
  G               D                Em  D  
 We found our bodies lost in paradise 
       C         D              G  C  
 Like castaways in Marina del Rey 
  
  G  
 We said goodbye in Marina del Rey...
