Chesney Kenny - Thats Why Im Here guitar tab
"That's Why I'm Here"
Recorded by: Kenny Chesney
Album: I Will Stand
Transcribed by: J. Cody Stilwell
Chords/Words were modified from Micahaj's version (12/23/97), (used without

Most of the actual music is piano...but it converted nicely to guitar. I showed the length of the
notes the best I could..but if you listen to the song, I think it can be picked up rather easily.
Capo 2nd Fret

Verse #1
D G
No I ain't had nothing to drink
A D
I knew that's probably what you'd think
G A D*
If I dropped by this time of night
D G
Remember way back when
A D
I promised you I'd drop in
G A D D
At one of those meetings down at the Y
G A
Well, they started talkin bout steps you take
D** 1 2 3
Mistakes you made, the hearts you break
G G
And the price you pay
A A
I almost walked away
G A
You could hear a pin drop When this old man
D** 1 2 3
Stood up and said I'm gonna' say it again
G G
Like I do every week
A A*
For those who don't know me
Chorus: (chords or pick)
D G
It's the simple things in life
A D
Like the kids at home and a loving wife
G A
That you miss the most, when you lose control
G A
And everything you love starts to disappear
D 1 2 3
The devil takes your hand and says no fear
G A
Have another shot, just one more beer

Yeah, I've been there, that's why I'm here
Verse #2
D G
This ole boy stood up in the aisle
A D
Said he'd been living a life of denial
G A D D
And he cried as he talked about wasted years
D G
I couldn't believe what I heard
A D
It was my life word for word
G A A*
And all of the sudden it was clear
G A
I know for us it may be too late
G
But it would mean the world to me
A
If you were there when I stand to say
Chorus: (chords or pick)
D G
It's the simple things in life
A D
Like the kids at home and a loving wife
G A
That you miss the most, when you lose control
G A
And everything you love starts to disappear
D 1 2 3
The devil takes your hand and says no fear
G A
Have another shot, just one more beer
G A D* 1 2 3
Yeah, I've been there, that's why I'm here

Oh I've been there, that's why I'm here
Hope this helps. Long live country music.....
