[Verse 1]
A         C#m   D
Thank You Lord for the small things
      D     E    A*
Like me and her on the porch swing
    A     C#m   D
For summer nights and fireflies
        D         C#m   A
And the sound of my old six string
A         C#m           D
Blessings, on blessings, 
on blessings, on blessings
   D          E           A*
If I still got breath in these lungs
    A          C#m  D
And that's all I need to 
get down on my knees
       D        C#m          A
And be thankful for all that He's done

For pulling me in, forgiving again
    D         C#m        A
The times that I took it too far, I
     A          C#m         D
Gotta thank You for keeping me humble

How to play Thank You Lord: key, chords and progression

This is the chords of Thank You Lord by Chris Tomlin, Thomas Rhett, Florida Georgia Line on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar and Keyboard.

Thank You Lord by Chris Tomlin keeps coming home to A major (three sharps: F♯, C♯, G♯). You need 4 chords: A, C#m, D and E.

Most of the song cycles through A – C#m – D – E (I – iii – IV – V in A major). In solfa, that is doh – mi – fah – soh. Get these 4 changes smooth and the rest comes quickly.

Good to know: C#m is the tricky part on guitar (barre or movable shapes). Slow the change down until it is clean; on piano and ukulele it is simpler.
