Intro - C - G - Am - F
(verse 1)
C G
My daddy was blue collar,
Am F
He worked for the man all of his life,
C G
He showed up when he didn't want to be there,
Am F
A man of his word, believed in doing things right,
(bridge)
Am G
I remember when I was a kid,
F D7
He'd say time and time again,
C G
It's a good life, it's a real good life,
F G C
And I'm a thankful man,
(chorus)
Am F
I'm a thankful man for every turn,
G C
On every highway I've been down,
Am F
Every mile I've lost, every crossroad stop,
C G
Every storm that turned me around,
Am G F
Oh, it's better than I could have planned,
Am G F
It's made me who I am,
C G
It's a good life, it's a real good life,
F G C - G - Am - F
And I'm a thankful man,
(verse 2)
My mama was a dreamer,
But she was the rock that we all leaned on,
She taught me about the lessons in life,
The difference between what's right and wrong,
(bridge)
And every word was a gift from her,
That helped me understand,
It's a good life, it's a real good life,
And I'm a thankful man,
(chorus)
Am F
I'm a thankful man for every turn,
G C
On every highway I've been down,
Am F
Every mile I've lost, every crossroad stop,
C G
Every storm that turned me around,
Am G F
Oh, it's better than I could have planned,
Am G F
It's made me who I am,
C G
It's a good life, it's a real good life,
F G C
And I'm a thankful man,
(lead chords - Am - F - C - G - Am - F - C - G)

Am G F
It's better than I could have planned,
Am G F
It's made me who I am,

Am F
And I'm a thankful man,
C G
It's a good life, it's a real good life,
F G C - G - Am - F - C
And I'm a thankful man,
