[VERSE 1]
Thank you for the [G]ride there mister
Right [C]here is where I get o[D]ff
It's been a little [G]while since I seen her but I [C]don't think love is l[D]ost

Thank you for the [C]ride, thank you for the [D]whiskey
Thank you for the [G]song

[C]Maria, you hear me [D]coming up the road
[C]Maria, your new [D]man's on his way home
I need a [G]chance to fix the [C]things I've torn [D]apart
Where [G]I left off's the [C]only place to [D]start
So take those [G]doubting chains [C]off of your lonely [D]heart
For this [C]thankful man [D]comin' in out of the [G]dark

Thank you for the [G]wind
