Intro [G] [C] [D] [G]

[G]I grew up two hours [C]north of [D]Birming[G]ham
[G]Me and my daddy used to [C]fish next to [D]Wilson D[G]am
[G]He told some stories, C[C]amaros and [D]J.W. Dan[G]t
When [D]I got a little older, I [C]wouldn't and [D]now Daddy [G]can't

[CHORUS]
So I thank [C]God for the [D]TV[G]A
Thank [C]God for the [D]TV[G]A
[G] [C] [D] [G] [G]/[F#] [Em]
Where me and my daddy used to bow to the river and pray
Thank [C]God for the [D]TV[G]A

When [G]I was 15, me and my [C]girl sat [D]out on the [G]lock
W[G]atchin' the raccoons and [C]terrapins [D]dance on [G]rocks
S[G]he let me put my h[C]and up u[D]nder her [G]shirt
I w[D]anted her to want me so [C]bad, it hur[D]t [G]

[CHORUS]
So I thank [C]God for the [D]TV[G]A
Thank [C]God for the [D]TV[G]A
[G] [C] [D] [G] [G]/[F#] [Em]
Where me and my baby used to lay around and wait on the day
Thank [C]God for the [D]TV[G]A

Intro 3 Times, then [D] [C] [D] [G]

My gr[G]anddaddy told me when [C]he was just [D]7 or so [G]
His [G]daddy lost work and they [C]didn't have a [D]row to hoe [G]
Not [G]too much to eat for [C]7 boys and[D] 3 girls [G]
All[D] lived in a tent, a bunch of [C]sharecroppers [D]versus the [G]world

So his [G]momma sat down and wrote a [C]letter to [D]FDR [G]
Then a[G] couple days later, a couple of [C]country men [D]came in a [G]car
Rolled [G]out in the field, told his [C]daddy to p[D]ut down the [G]plow
And he[D] helped build the damn, gave [C]power to most [D]the South [G]

[CHORUS]
So I thank [C]God for the [D]TV[G]A
Thank [C]God for the [D]TV[G]A
[G] [C] [D] [G] [G]/[F#] [Em]
Where Roosevelt let us all work for an honest day's pay
Thank [C]God for the [D]TV[G]A
