INTRO


    G                      C(add9)
I remember we'd leave early in the Carolina rain,
       G                                  C(add9) C  Cmaj7
And go catching frogs and fishing off the pier.
         D(add9)  D  Dsus
That was back in 67,
D               D/F#        D7      G     Gsus  G  Gsus
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(add9)     C  Cmaj7
Reaching up so I could hold your hand.
  D
I wish I'd said I love you then
                        D/F#   D7       G   Gsus  G  Gsus
But, I didn't know just how to tell you Dad.


    G              Gsus             G                 Gsus
I remember going through my teens in tennis shoes and faded jeans,
G                              C(add9) C  Cmaj7
 Thinking you could never understand.
         D                Dsus
Wish I'd known what I was missing,
      D               D/F#   D7     G   Gsus  G  Gsus
When I didn't want to listen to you Dad.


        Bm          C                 G       Gsus G Gsus G
And the pages of my life just keep on turning,
    Bm             C                  G  Gsus G Gsus G
The way you always told me they would do.
        Bm              C                   G        Gsus G Gsus G
There's lessons in this life that I'm still learning,
     Am     G/B   C                D   Dsus  D
Oh I wish I was a little more like you.


      G                  Gsus
I was just now thinking about you,
     C(add9)
So I took this time to write.
G                                  C(add9) C Cmaj7
 Write me back or call me when you can.
D                    Dsus
Things back here are goin' well,
D                        D/F#    D7       G   Gsus  G  Gsus
 There's really not much more to tell you Dad.
D
 I just wanted you to know,
                       D/F# D7   G   Gsus G Gsus G Gsus G Gsus
You're the best friend I've ever had.
