Josh Turner - I was there

^G I was there that night in^Cadd9 Bethlehem And when^Em Neil and the boys came^D to the moon in that^Cadd9 tin can At^G Gettysburg,^D Omaha beach, in^Cadd9 Vietnam I heard^Em every soldier's^D cry and every^Cadd9 mama's prayer I was^G ther^Cadd9e

^G I was there when you took your^Cadd9 first breath And when you^Em lit that stolen^D Lucky Strike and like to^Cadd9 choke to death When you were^G waist deep in Carter's Creek And^Cadd9 preacher John dunked you^Em down in the water and^D raised you up for^Cadd9 air ^D I was^G there

^Cadd9 I'm always around, I was^D then and I am now And^G I'll be here^G/B when tomorrow^Cadd9 comes When a^Em road comes to an end I'm^D where you start again I'm^Cadd9 never farther^G/B than a word^Cadd9 away You've always got a^D friend

When your^G grandma passed, I was^Cadd9 in that house And when your^Em grandpa ran down the^D streets of gold to show^Cadd9 her around^D I was^G there ^{Cadd9 Em Cadd9 D G/B}

^Cadd9 I'm always around, I was^D then and I am now And^G I'll be here^G/B when tomorrow^Cadd9 comes When a^Em road comes to an end I'm^D where you start again I'm^Cadd9 never farther^G/B than a word^Cadd9 away You've always got a^D friend

^G I was there last night on^Cadd9 highway 9 When you^Em answered the phone and^D ran right through that^Cadd9 stop sign I was^G in the cab, of that bigger rig, in that^Cadd9 trucker's ear Made him^Em swerve to the right and^D miss you by a^Cadd9 hair I was^G there

If you're^Em feeling alone look^D up I’m the One^Cadd9 who answers prayers^D And I'm always there^{Em D Cadd9}
