The Statler Brothers – I Was There (Guitar)

C                                        G7
When she bought her first heels I was there

                                              C
When she combed those last pigtails from her hair

                                        Dm
When she wore her sister's dress to the prom I must confess

         C              G7            C
When the last dance was danced I was there

                                   G7                                  C
When I first fell in love she was there I can still remember when and where

                                 Dm
But life gives and takes and we all have our breaks

          C               G7          C
When she broke her first heart I was there

          D                           A7
When she walked down the aisle I was there

                                           D
When she took the vows to always love and care

                            Em
With dignity and grace I quietly took my place

          D              A7          D
With the friends of the bride I was there

          G                D             A7           D
When they had their first fight and she called in the night

         G               D           A7
Though I knew it wasn't right I was there

         G            D             A7       D
And when he left her again and she needed a friend

        G                A7         D
Like a fool I've always been I was there

                             A7                                   D
The last time we met he was there and whatever he thinks I don't care

                      Em                    D                A7            D
I loved her first and he loved her worst I know she told me so when I was there

   D                A             D
I know she told me so when I was there
