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.
