The Avett Brothers - I Thank God

      (The G D/F# Em walk down isn't necessary, but it sounds somewhat better with it.) 

[Intro]
(Strum each chord one time)

G          Am        C       G
    This wonderful world we live in

    Am          C        G
Is God's masterpiece of art

      Am         C      G
And I live each golden moment

          Am         D
With his love in my heart

[verse]
(Begin regular strumming here)

G D/F#  Em  Bm           Em
I thank God for blessing me

Am            D        G
with eyes to see each wondrous day.

    G D/F#  Em  Bm           Em
And I thank God for hands to help

Am        D      G
my fellow man along the way.

[bridge]

    C       D        G               Bm
He gave me lips to speak the simple truth,

     A                D
and ears to hear the magic dreams of youth.

[verse]

G  D/F# Em  Bm        Em
I thank God for giving me

Am           D         G
his blessed book with words divine.

           C  D            G D/F# Em
For now I know, dear God I know,

     Am          D      G
the miracle of life is mine.

the miracle of life is mine.
