G/B - x20033 G/F# - 2x0033 G* - G chord with hammer on D string 4th fret [Intro] G* C x2 [Verse]

C                         D             G
I remember waiting by the curb with Mr. Murphy

           C                 D                    G
When daddy picked me up from school his eyes were red

C               D             Em
We drove to the hospital in a hurry

         C                                   D               
Where my family gathered 'round my grandpa's bed

[Chorus]

C
He was my best friend

G/B
He taught me how to fish

    G                 D           C
And I cried listening to my daddy pray

    C            D                    G*   C
For one of those I've loved along the way

[Verse]

    C                   D                  G 
She had a ribbon in her hair the day I met her

     C               D               G
That whole next year we couldn't get enough

      C          D                Em
After graduation she took off for Denver

       C                                 D
And for a while we both tried to keep in touch

[Chorus]

    C
She was my best friend

     G/B     
And it broke my heart

      G                D            C
But I don't regret the day that she became

C                 D               G
One of those I've loved along the way

[Bridge]

      D
And I hope they know

C                                       D
I never would've made it this far on my own

C
Cause where would we all be without those

G           G/F#
Fathers and mothers

G/B         G/F#
Sisters and brothers

C
Friends I've made

Em        D
Long lost lovers

C             D        Em
I wouldn't be who I am today

C                     D               Em
If not for those I've loved along the way

Along the way Em C Em C D [Verse]

C              D                  G 
Now I'm just a country boy with a guitar

    C                       D                       G 
Looking back down this old road I've been traveling on

      C            D                     Em
It was never about trying to be some big star

C                                   D
For me it's always been about these songs

[Chorus]

        C
See they're my best friends

        G/B
They're the life I lead

       G            D                 C
And I hope they've put a smile on the face

C             D               Em
Of those I've loved along the way

[Outro]

  C                D              Em
Cause I wouldn't be the man I am today

   C                 D                    G* C G* C G
If not for those I've loved along the way
