Verse 1
 
    G                                C
I remember we’d leave early, in the Carolina rain
G                                      C
Go catchin’ frogs and fishin’ off the peer
          D           D7                                    G   C  G   C
That was back in ’67; 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
Reachin’ up so I could hold your hand
   D                                    D7                               G   C   G   C
I wish I’d said I love you then, but I didn’t know just how to tell you dad
    G
I remember goin’ through my teens in tennis shoes and faded jeans
                              C
Thinkin’ you could never understand
           D                     D7                                 G   C   G
Wish I’d known what I was missin’ when I didn’t wanna listen to you dad
 
 
Chorus:
 
         Bm          C                 G
And the pages of my life just keep on turnin’
    Bm              C                 G
The way you always told me they would do
         Bm              C                   G
There’s lessons in this life that I’m still learnin’
       Am    G/B    C                D
Oh, I wish I was a little more like you
 
 
Verse 2:
 
            G                                 C
Well I was just now thinkin’ ‘bout you; so I took this time to write
G                                  C
Write me back or call me when you can
D                               D7                                         G   C   G
Things back here are goin’ well; there’s really not much more to tell you dad
D                          D7                                     G   C   G   C   G   C
I just wanted you to know, that you’re the best friend I’ve ever had
