I Wish I Could've Been There
I Wish I Coulda Been There Writers: John Anderson & Kent Robbins Key of C C G Am F When our baby Kate was born it was the biggest day of my life C G Lying there little bows in her hair in the loving arms of my wife Am G F I was the proudest papa in the U.S.A. C G Making a living on the road somewhere a thousand miles away Am G F C G It was a happy day, but kinda sad. I wish I coulda been there Am F G C I wish I coulda been there, I wish I coulda been there for that. C G Am F Little Bobby hit his first home run he was the hero of the hometown crowd C G 2 to 1 it was the winning run, everybody was cheering loud Am G F And mama she was smiling saying, he's a chip off of the old block C G But I was on the road somewhere between Memphis and Little Rock Am G F C G It was a happy day, but kinda sad. I wish I coulda been there Am F G C I wish I coulda been there, I wish I coulda been there for that. C G Am F Now Bobby and Kate are all grown up and moved away C G They stay in touch, we're proud of the two good kids we raised Am G F And it's hard to believe we're celebrating our 25th year today C G This party's nice, but the kids aren't here, at least they called to say Am G F C G Congradulations Mom and Dad . I wish we coulda been there Am F G C I wish we coulda been there, I wish we coulda been there for that. Am G F C G It was a happy day, but kinda sad. I wish they coulda been there Am F G C I wish they coulda been there, I wish they coulda been there for that. Jason A. Wendtland
