I Was There Chords by Josh Turner

_ _ [F#] _ _ [E] _ _ _
[B] I was there that night in [C#] Bethlehem
[G#m] And when [B] Neil and the boys came to the moon 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
_ [G#m] And 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 [B] water and raised you [E] up for air
[B] I was there _
I'm always around, [F#] I was then and I am [B] now
And I'll be here when [E] tomorrow comes
[G#m] When a road comes to an end, [B] I'm where you start again
[E] I'm never [B] farther than a [C#m] word away
You've always [F#] got a friend
_ [B] When your grandma passed, [C#] I was in that house
[G#m] And when your grandpa ran down the streets of [E] gold to show her [F#] around
I was there _
[E] _ _ _ _ [G#m] _ _ _ _
[C#m] _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _
[E] I'm always around, [F#] I was then and I am now
[B] And I'll be here when [E] tomorrow comes
[G#m] When a road comes to an end, [B] I'm where you start again
[E] I'm never [B] farther than a [C#m] word away
You've always [F#] got a friend
_ _ [B] I was there last [G#m] night on Highway [C#] 9
[G#m] When you answered the [B] phone and ran right through that stop sign
I was in the cab of that big rig in that trucker's ear
[G#m] Made him swerve to the right and miss you [E] by a hair
_ [B] I was there
[G#m] If you feel it, [B] I'll look up, I'm the [E] one who answers [F#] prayers
_ And I'm [B] always [G#m] there _
_ [F#] _ _ _ [E] _ [B] _ _ _
