I Was There Chords by Josh Turner

_ _ [F#] _ _ [E] _ _ _
[B] I was there that night in [C#] Bethlehem [G#m] And when Neil and the [F#] boys came to the moon
[B] in that tin can At Gettysburg, Omaha Beach, and Vietnam
I heard every soldier's cry and every mama's prayer
I was there I was there when you took your first breath
And [G#m] when you lit that [B] stolen lucky strike and locked a choke to death
When you were waist deep in Carter's Creek and Preacher [E] John
[G#m] Dunked you down in the water [B] and raised you up [E] for air
[B] _ I was there I'm [E] always around
[F#] I was then and I am now [B] And I'll be here [D#m] when tomorrow [E] _ comes
[G#m] When a road comes to an end [B] I'm where you start again
[E] I'm never farther [B] than a word [C#m] away You've always got a [F#] friend
_ _ [B] I was there when your grandma passed I [C#] was in that house
And [G#m] when your grandpa ran down the street to go to [E] show her around
[B] I was there _ _
[E] _ I'm _ [G#m] _ _ _ _
[C#m] _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _
[E] always around
I [F#] was then and I am now [B] And I'll be here when tomorrow [E] comes _
[G#m] When a road comes to an end [B] I'm where you start again
[E] I'm never farther [B] than a word [C#m] away You've always got a [F#] friend
_ _ [B] I was there last night [G#m] on Highway 9 [C#] When [G#m] you answered the phone [B] and ran right through that stop sign
I was in the cab of that big rig in that trucker's ear
Made [G#m] him swerve to the right [B] and kiss you by the [E] hair
_ [B] I was there If [G#m] you feel it all [B] look up
I'm the [E] one who answers [F#] prayers And I'm [B] always [G#m] _ there _
