[Verse 1]

       C
Well a woman was healed when she touched the hem of his clothes
                                                G
That's just one of those stories that everybody knows
     Am                     F
Oh I know the facts but I'd love to feel
         C
What the blind man felt when his eyes were healed
                            G
He went running through the streets to share

[Chorus]

                    C
I wish I could have been there
         F              C                 F             C                 F                           C
When the thousands were fed with just two fish and some bread and see the little boy a packin' up the rest

I wish I could have been there
           F               C                 F               C             G
To see the lame that could leap and hear the dumb that could speak and see the

multitudes of people Jesus blessed
         C                                     F       C
I wish I could have seen the stone that went a rollin' away
          F                                   C
when they looked inside the door to where the grave clothes lay
                                   E               Am
I didn't see but I believe that he ascended in the air
      F             G               C
And I really wish I could have been there

[Capo 1]

[Verse 2]

        C
When He commanded Lazarus to walk right out of His grave
                                               G
And in a Galilean storm He started calming the waves
        Am                       F
I wanna feel that breeze blowing on my face
        C
I wanna know the smell I wanna taste the taste
                      G
Just reading 'bout it couldn't compare

[Chorus]

                    C
I wish I could have been there
         F              C                 F             C                 F                           C
When the thousands were fed with just two fish and some bread and see the little boy a packin' up the rest

I wish I could have been there
           F               C                 F               C             G
To see the lame that could leap and hear the dumb that could speak and see the

multitudes of people Jesus blessed
         C                                     F       C
I wish I could have seen the stone that went a rollin' away
          F                                   C
when they looked inside the door to where the grave clothes lay
                                   E               Am
I didn't see but I believe that he ascended in the air
      F             G               C
And I really wish I could have been there

When the thousands were fed with just two fish and some bread and see the little boy a packin' up the rest

      F             G               C
And I really wish I could have been there
