I Wish I Could've Been There

C             G                  
When our baby Kate was born, it 
       Am                F
was the biggest day of my life
C                             
Lyin' there, little bows in her 
               G
hair, in the lovin' arms of my wife
          Am       G         
I was the proudest papa in the 
      F
U.S.A.
C                         
Makin' a living on the road 
              G
somewhere a thousand miles away

       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              
I wish I could've been there for 
C
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
