Verse 3

It just broke my heart in two!

"Son, I'm doing this for you."

Verse 4
A 
I knelt beneath  (A major) the third man's cross,

G 
 (G major) I  had cried.
D 
A 
A dream,  (D major) I wished  (A major) I knew
D 
G 
I can  (D major) still hear the  (G major) third man say,
D 
A 
"I'm doing  (D major) this  (A major) for you."..
