I Was There by Josh Turner
I Was There
Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:no capo
[Verse 1]
D A Bm
I was there that night in Bethlehem
G A
And when Neil and the boys came to the moon in that tin can
D A Bm
At Gettysburg, Omaha beach, in Vietnam
G A
I heard every soldier's cry and mom's prayer
D G D
I was there
D A Bm
I was there when you took your first breath
G A
And when you lit that stolen Lucky Strike and like the choke to death
D A Bm
When you were waist deep in Carter's Creek
G A
And preacher John dunked you down in the water and raised you up for air
D
I was there
[Chorus]
Bm
I'm always around
A
I was then and I am now
D G
And I'll be here when tomorrow comes
Bm
When a road comes to an end
A
I'm where you start again
D G
I'm never farther than a word away
Bm A
You've always got a friend
[Verse 2]
D A Bm
When your grandma passed, I was in that house
G A
And when your grandpa ran down the street to go to show her around
D D A A G G A
I was there
[Chorus]
Bm
I'm always around
A
I was then and I am now
D G
And I'll be here when tomorrow comes
Bm
When a road comes to an end
A
I'm where you start again
D G
I'm never farther than a word away
Bm A
You've always got a friend
[Verse 3]
D A Bm
I was there last night on highway 9
G A
When you answered the phone and ran right through that stop sign
D A Bm
I was in the cab, in that bigger rig, in that trucker's ear
G A
They then swerve to the right and miss you by a hair
D
I was there
[Tag]
Bm A G A
If you're feeling alone look up on the One who answers prayers
D A G A D
And I'm always there
