(verse 1)
CG
My daddy was blue collar,
AmF
He worked for the man all of his life,
CG
He showed up when he didn't want to be there,
AmF
A man of his word, believed in doing things right,
(bridge)
AmG
I remember when I was a kid,
FD7
He'd say time and time again,
CG
It's a good life, it's a real good life,
FGC
And I'm a thankful man,
(chorus)
AmF
I'm a thankful man for every turn,
GC
On every highway I've been down,
AmF
Every mile I've lost, every crossroad stop,
CG
Every storm that turned me around,
AmGF
Oh, it's better than I could have planned,
AmGF
It's made me who I am,
CG
It's a good life, it's a real good life,
FGC - 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)
AmF
I'm a thankful man for every turn,
GC
On every highway I've been down,
AmF
Every mile I've lost, every crossroad stop,
CG
Every storm that turned me around,
AmGF
Oh, it's better than I could have planned,
AmGF
It's made me who I am,
CG
It's a good life, it's a real good life,
FGC
And I'm a thankful man,
(lead chords - Am - F - C - G - Am - F - C - G)

AmGF
It's better than I could have planned,
AmGF
It's made me who I am,

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