The Statler Brothers - I was there

^CWhen she bought her first heels I was the^G7re When she combed those last pigtails from her h^Cair When she wore her sister's dress to the ^Dmprom I must confess When the ^Clast dance was ^G7danced I was t^Chere When I first fell in love she was t^G7here I can still remember when and w^Chere But life gives and takes and we a^Dmll have our breaks When she b^Croke her first h^G7eart I was t^Chere When she w^Dalked down the aisle I was t^A7here When she took the vows to always love and c^Dare With dignity and grace I qui^Emetly took my place With the f^Driends of the b^A7ride I was t^Dhere When they ^Ghad their first f^Dight and she c^A7alled in the ^Dnight Though I ^Gknew it wasn't r^Dight I was t^A7here And when ^Ghe left her a^Dgain and she n^A7eeded a f^Driend Like a f^Gool I've always b^A7een I was t^Dhere The last time we met he was t^A7here and whatever he thinks I don't c^Dare I loved her first and ^Emhe loved her worst I k^Dnow she told me s^A7o when I was t^Dhere I k^Dnow she told me s^Ao when I was t^Dhere
