[Intro]
C Gm F C Gm F C
[Verse 1]
It Claid upon the dasGhboard, of Amhis old pickup truck.
Or Fstuffed down in the pocket, of his Gshort sleeve button up.
 I've Emseen it in his toolbox, beAmside the tractor seat.
 WheFrever he was working, he Gkept it within Creach.
[Chorus]
GIt was he trusted compCanion, Git was a rock and his best Cfriend.G  
 It Amwas a truth, it Gwas a light, Fwhen the path grew dim,
 and he Ccarried it beGcause it carried him.C  Gm  F  
[Verse 2]
It Ccarried him in Gstrength, when Amhe was tired and down.
 It Fcarried him with hope, when Ghope could not be found.
 And Em7when his love lay helpless, and he Amknew it was goodbye;
 it Fpromised him eternity and Gpeace for when Che cried.
[Chorus]
GIt was he trusted compCanion, Git was a rock and his best Cfriend.G  
 It Amwas a truth, it Gwas a light, Fwhen the path grew dim,
 and he Ccarried it Gbecause it carried hCim.
[Bridge]
AmHe read it every day, took it Feverywhere he went.
 And he Dmbeamed when he held that Cweathered, worn out Ftestamant.
[Chorus]
GIt was he trusted Ccompanion, Git was a rock and his best Cfriend.G  
 It Amwas a truth, it Gwas a light, Fwhen the path grew dim,
 and he Ccarried it beGcause it carried hCim.Gm7  F  C  Gm  F  C
