John Anderson - I Wish I Could've Been There guitar chord

I Wish I Could've Been There

By John Anderson

C G Am F

When our baby Kate was born, it was the biggest day of my life

C G

Lyin' there, little bows in her hair, in the lovin' arms of my wife

Am G F

I was the proudest papa in the U.S.A.

C G

Makin' a living on the road somewhere a thousand miles away

Chorus:

Am G F

It was a happy day, but kinda sad

C G

I wish I could've been there,

Am F

I wish I could've been there

F G C

I wish I could've been there for that

Little Bobby hit his first homerun, he was the hero of the hometown crowd

Two to one, it was the winning run, everybody was cheerin' loud

Mama, she was smilin' and sayin' he's a chip off of the old block

But I was on the road somewhere between Memphis and Little Rock

Chorus

Now Bobby and Kate are all grown up and moved away

They stay in touch, we're proud of the good kids that we raised

And it's hard to believe we're celebratin' our 25th year today

This party's nice, but the kids aren't here, at least they called to say

"Congratulations, Mom and Dad"

Wish we could've been there

I wish we could've been there

I wish we could've been there for that

Chorus
