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.

I remember we'd leave early in the Carolina rain.
