 capo 3


 


 [(Em)](G)I w[(G)]as th[(C)]ere that night in Bethle(C)hem


 And when (Em)Neil and the boys came (D)to the moon in that (C)tin can


 At (G)Gettysburg, Omaha Beach, in (C)Vietnam


 I heard (Em)every soldier's (D)cry and every (C)mama's prayer


 I was (G)there


 


 (G)I was there when you took your (C)first breath


 And when you (Em)lit that stolen (D)Lucky Strike and liked to (C)choke to death


 When you were (G)waist deep in Carter's Creek and (C)preacher John


 Dunked you (Em)down in the water and (D)raised you up for (C)air


 (D)I was (G)there


 


 I'm (C)always around, I was (D)then and I am now


 And (G)I'll be here (Bm)when tomorrow (C) comes


 When a (Em)road comes to an end, I'm (G)where you start again


 I'm (C)never farther (Bm)than a word a(Am)way, you've always got a (D)friend


 


 When your (G)grandma passed, I was (C)in that house


 And when your (Em)grandpa ran down the (D)streets of gold to show (C)her around


 (D)I was (G)there


 


 [(C)]I'm [(Em)](C)al[(Am)]ways [(D)]around, I was (D)then and I am now


 And (G)I'll be here (Bm)when tomorrow (C) comes


 When a (Em)road comes to an end, I'm (G)where you start again


 I'm (C)never farther (Bm)than a word a(Am)way, you've always got a (D)friend


 


 (G)I was there, last night on (C)Highway 9


 When you (Em)answered the phone and (D)ran right through that (C)stop sign


 I was (G)in the cab of that (Bm)big rig, in that (C)trucker's ear


 Made him (Em)swerve to the right and (D)miss you by a (C)hair


 I was (G)there (Bm)


 


 If you're (Em)feeling alone look (D)up I'm the one (C) who answers prayers (D)


 And I'm always (Em)there (D) (C) (Em) (Am) (D) (G)
