I Was There chords by Josh Turner

Verse 1:

Bm
I was there that night in Bethlehem
         A
And when Neil and the boys came to the moon in that tin can
   Bm
At Gettysburg, Omaha beach, in Vietnam
         A
I heard every soldier's cry and mom's prayer
        D    GD
I was there

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

Chorus:

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

Verse 2:
          Bm
When your grandma passed, I was in that house
               A
And when your grandpa ran down the street to go to show her around
         A
I was there


Chorus:

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

Verse 3:

Bm
I was there last night on highway 9
            A
When you answered the phone and ran right through that stop sign
       Bm
I was in the cab, in that bigger rig, in that trucker's ear
           A
They then swerve to the right and miss you by a hair
        D
I was there

If you're feeling alone look up on the One who answers prayers
                D
