Capo 3rd fret
Standard (EADGBE)
Intro
I remember waiting by the curb with Mr. Murphy
When daddy picked me up from school his eyes were red
We drove to the hospital in a hurry
Where my family gathered round my grandpas bed
He was my best friend
He taught me how to fish
And I cried listening to my daddy pray
For one of those Ive loved along the way
**Don't feel like writing chords out again...same chords as first part of song
She had a ribbon in her hair the day I met her
That whole next year we couldnt 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 dont regret the day that she became
One of those Ive loved along the way
And I hope they know
I never wouldve made it this far on my own
Cause where would we all be without those
Fathers and mothers
Sisters and brothers
Friends Ive made
Long lost lovers
I wouldnt be who I am today
If not for those Ive loved along the way
Now Im just a country boy with a guitar
Looking back down this old road Ive been traveling on
It was never about trying to be some big star
For me its always been about these songs
See theyre my best friends
Theyre the life I lead
And I hope theyve put a smile on the face
Of those Ive loved along the way
Cause I wouldnt be the man I am today
If not for those Ive loved along the way.
