[Verse 1]
C                                                               F
In my favorite pair of salt water sun-bleached jeans
C                                                 G
I got a cold one coming and some songs to sing
C                                                 F
My guitar’s got brand new strings
C                                 G
It’s a big old beautiful world
C                                                 F
It’s the blue sky days you don’t wanna miss
C                       G
Jukebox dances and girls to kiss
C                                                 F
Keeps us all living for nights like this
C                 G                 C
It’s a big old beautiful world

The roller coaster ride meets the tilt-a-whirl

There’s a star in the sky for every grain of sand

And I stared up at night trying to understand
C                                                                 F
How it all fits in the palm of God’s hand
C                 G                 C
It’s a big old beautiful world
