[VERSE 1]
I re[G]member we’d leave early, in the[C] Carolina rain
[G]Go catchin’ frogs and fishin’ off t[C]he peer
That was b[D]ack in ’67[D7] ; haven’t thought about those days i[G]n ye[C]ars[G] [C]
And I m[G]ust have been a sight to see, with a dirty face and skinned up knees
Reachin’ up so I could hold your[C] hand
I w[D]ish I’d said I love you then, but I[D7] didn’t know just how to tell y[G]ou d[C]ad [G] [C]
I re[G]member goin’ through my teens in tennis shoes and faded jeans
Thinkin’ you could never und[C]erstand
Wish I’d [D]known what I was missi[D7]n’ when I didn’t wanna listen t[G]o yo[C]u da[G]d
[CHORUS]
And the p[Bm]ages of my l[C]ife just keep on t[G]urnin’
The [Bm]way you always t[C]old me they would [G]do
There’s[Bm] lessons in this[C] life that I’m sti[G]ll learnin’
Oh, I w[Am]ish I [G/B]was a l[C]ittle more like y[D]ou
[VERSE 2]
Well I was j[G]ust now thinkin’ ‘bout you; so[C] I took this time to write
[G]Write me back or call me when you c[C]an
[D]Things back here are goin’ wel[D7]l; there’s really not much more to tell y[G]ou d[C]ad [G]
[D]I just wanted you to know, [D7]that you’re the best friend I’ve ev[G]er h[C]ad [G] [C] [G] [C]
