CAPO 3

Intro: G Em7 Cadd9 (x2)

        Cadd9       D         G
I remember waiting by the curb with Mr. Murphy
        Cadd9         D          G
When daddy picked me up from school his eyes were red
   Cadd9       D       Em7
We drove to the hospital in a hurry
      Cadd9         D          G
Where my family gathered ?round my grandpa's bed

     Cadd9
He was my best friend
         G
He taught me how to fish
     G       D       Cadd9
And I cried listening to my daddy pray
   Cadd9         D         G
For one of those I've loved along the way

G D Cadd9

(same chords...)
 
She had a ribbon in her hair the day I met her
That whole next year we couldn't get enough
After graduation she took off for Denver
And for a while we both tried to keep in touch

She was my best friend
And it broke my heart
But I don't regret the day that she became
One of those I've loved along the way

     D
And I hope they know
Cadd9                    D
I never would've made it this far on my own
Cadd9
Cause where would we all be without those
G         D
Fathers and mothers
Em7       G
Sisters and brothers
Cadd9
Friends I've made
Em7     D
Long lost lovers
Cadd9       D     Em7
I wouldn't be who I am today
Cadd9            D         Em7
If not for those I've loved along the way

Em7 Cadd9 Em7 D

Now I'm just a country boy with a guitar
Looking back down this old road I've been traveling on
It was never about trying to be some big star
For me it's always been about these songs

See they're my best friends
They're the life I lead
And I hope they've put a smile on the face
Of those I've loved along the way

Cause I wouldn't be the man I am today
If not for those I've loved along the way.
