I Was There Josh Turner
I Was There Capo 4
[Intro]
[Em] [D] [C9]
[Verse 1]
[G]I was there that night in[C9] Bethlehem
And when[Em] Neil and the boys came[D] to the moon in that[C9] tin can
At[G] Gettysburg,[D] Omaha beach, in[C9] Vietnam
I heard[Em] every soldier's[D] cry and every[C9] mama's prayer
I was[G] ther[C9]e
[Verse 2]
[G]I was there when you took your[C9] first breath
And when you[Em] lit that stolen[D] Lucky Strike and like to[C9] choke to death
When you were[G] waist deep in Carter's Creek
And[C9] preacher John dunked you[Em] down in the water and[D] raised you up for[C9] air[D]
I was[G] there
[Cborus]
[C9]I'm always around, I was[D] then and I am now
And[G] I'll be here[G/B] when tomorrow[C9] comes
When a[Em] road comes to an end
I'm[D] where you start again
I'm[C9] never farther[Em] than a word[C9] away
You've always got a[D] friend
[Bridge]
When your[G] grandma passed, I was[C9] in that house
And when your[Em] grandpa ran down the[D] street to go to[C9] show her around[D]
I was[G] there[C9] [Em] [C9] [D] [C9]
[Cborus]
[C9]I'm always around, I was[D] then and I am now
And[G] I'll be here[G/B] when tomorrow[C9] comes
When a[Em] road comes to an end
I'm[D] where you start again
I'm[C9] never farther[Em] than a word[C9] away
You've always got a[D] friend
[Verse 3]
[G]I was there last night on[C9] highway 9
When you[Em] answered the phone and[D] ran right through that[C9] stop sign
I was[G] in the cab, of that bigger rig, in that[C9] trucker's ear
Made him[Em] swerve to the right and[D] miss you by a[C9] hair
I was[G] there
[Tag]
If you're[Em] feeling alone look[D] up I'm the One wh[C9]o answers prayers
And I'm always there[Em] [D] [C9]
