Intro: D  G  C  G (x2) 
 
          D          G 
He had a stroke in '95  
                 D              G                     D  G  C  G 
They thought it best that he reside, in a nursing home 
            D                  G 
The family vowed they'd never leave him 
          D                 G                          D  G 
The last time they came to see him, was three years ago 
              D            G 
He spent his whole life providin' 
            D        G                D  G  C  G 
Now he was down to relyin’, on Medicare 
            D            G 
The nurses took a liking to him 
                 D                 G                    D  G 
They'd get his wheelchair out and push him, on sunny days 
             A                              C 
He couldn't walk, he couldn't speak, seemed so far out of reach 
            G                                A 
But in his mind as far as they knew he could be

Blanchard
D G One afternoon in June D G D G C G A nurse saw his finger move, about had a heart attack D G She went screamin' down the hall D G D G Hey, it's a miracle ya'll, I think he's comin' back A C The doctors all rushed in, said do you know what year this is G A Asus4 Asus4 How many fingers am I holding and where've you been.... and he said
