I Was There

by The Statler Brothers

G                                     D7

When she bought her first heels I was there

When she combed those last pigtails from her hair

Am

When she wore her sister's dress to the prom I must confess

         G              D7           G

When the last dance was danced I was there

D7

When I first fell in love she was there

I can still remember when and where

Am

But life gives and takes and we all have our breaks

         G               D7          G

When she broke her first heart I was there

D7

When she walked down the aisle I was there

When she took the vows to always love and care

Am

With dignity and grace I quietly took my place

         G              D7          G

With the friends of the bride I was there

          C               G             D7            G

When they had their first fight and she called in the night

         C              G           D7

Though I knew it wasn't right I was there

         C           G             D7       G

And when he left her again and she needed a friend

       C                D7         G

Like a fool I've always been I was there

D7

The last time we met he was there

And whatever he thinks I don't care

Am

I loved her first and he loved her worst

  G                D7            G

I know she told me so when I was there

                   D7            G

I know she told me so when I was there
