D A Bm
i was there that night in bethlehem
G A
and when neil and the boys came to the moon in that tin can

at gettysburg , omaha beach , in vietnam
G A
i heard every soldier’s cry and mom’s prayer
D gd
i was there

D A Bm
i was there when you took your first breath
G A
and when you lit that stolen lucky strike and like the choke to death
D A Bm
when you were waist deep in carter’s creek
G 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
D G
and i’ll be here when tomorrow comes

you’ve always got a friend

i’m never farther than a word away

D A Bm
i was there last night on highway 9
G A
when you answered the phone and ran right through that stop sign

they then swerve to the right and miss you by a hair
