INTRO: D

[D]Thank you for a life that I'd call [G]happy
[A7]Overlookin' all that we've been [D]through[A7]
[D]When it comes to lovin' I've been [G]lucky
[A7]Everything I am I owe [D]to you[A7]

[D]Thank you for the little girls you [G]gave me
[A7]Thank you for them bouncin' baby [D]boys[A7]
[D]Thank you for the sadness that you [G]saved me from the madness, baby
[A7]All I'm cryin' now are tears of [D]joy[A7]

Thank you for that burnin' sun that's risin'
Golden in the air that smells so sweet
Thank you for that empty far horizon
That opens to a new eternity

You know I'm grateful for the freedom and the chances
And every little piece of sweetness that I've known
And I'm grateful for the justice and the mercy
And all the truth and beauty I've been shown

So thank you for a life that I'd call happy
Overlookin' all that we've been through
When it comes to lovin' I've been lucky
Everything I am I owe to you
