G
INTRO
G
I remember we'd leave early in the Carolina rain,
G C C7M
And go catching frogs and fishing off the pier.
D
That was back in 67,
D D/F# D7 G
Haven't thought about those days in years.
G
And I must have been a sight to see,
With a dirty face and skinned up knees.
C C7M
Reaching up so I could hold your hand.
D
I wish I'd said I love you then
D/F# D7 G
But, I didn't know just how to tell you Dad.
G
I remember going through my teens in tennis shoes and faded jeans,
G C C7M
Thinking you could never understand.
D
Wish I'd known what I was missing,
D D/F# D7 G
When I didn't want to listen to you Dad.
Bm C G
And the pages of my life just keep on turning,
Bm C G
The way you always told me they would do.
Bm C G
There's lessons in this life that I'm still learning,
Am G/B C D
Oh I wish I was a little more like you.
G
I was just now thinking about you,
C(add9)
G C C7M
Write me back or call me when you can.
D
Things back here are goin' well,
D D/F# D7 G
There's really not much more to tell you Dad.
D
I just wanted you to know,
D/F# D7 G
You're the best friend I've ever had.
G
I remember we'd leave early in the Carolina rain.
