[Verse 1]
[Em]I wa[G]s th[C]ere [G]that
night in Bethlehem
And when [Em]Neil and the boys came [G]to
the moon in that tin [Em]can[G]
At Gettysburg, Omaha Beach, in Vietnam

and every [C]mama's prayer
I [G]was there

[Verse 2]
[G]I was there when you took
[C]your first breath
And when you [Em]let that stolen
[G]lucky strike
And locked a [C]choke to death
When you were [G]waist deep
in Carter's Creek
And [C]Preacher John dunked you
[Em]down in the water
And [G]raised you up for [C]air[Dsus4]
I was [G]there

[Verse 3]
[C]I'm always around,
I was [Dsus4]then and I am now
And [G]I'll be here [Bm]when to
[G]mor[C]row comes
When a [Em]road comes to an end
I'm [G]where you start again
I'm [C]never farther [G]than a word [Am]away
You've always got [Dsus4]a friend
[D]When your

[Verse 4]
[G]grandma passed,
I was [C]in that house
[G]And when your [Em]grandpa ran
down the [D]streets of gold
[G]To show her[C] around[Dsus4]

You've always got [Dsus4]a friend

[Verse 6]
[G]I was there last night on [C]Highway Nine
[G]When you ans[Em]wered the phone and
[G]ran right through that [C]stop sign
I was [G]in the cab of that bigger rig
[C]and that trucker's ear
Made him [Em]swerve to the right
and [G]miss you by [Em]a ha[C]ir
I was [G]there

[Verse 7]
If you're [Em]feeling alone, look [D]up
I'm the [G]one [C]who answers
pray[G]ers[Dsus4]
And I'm [D]al [Bm]ways [G]ther[Em]e
