VERSE 1:
C G Am F
Well lookie here people I got a new six string
C G Am F
And here's the first song I ever wrote upon this thing
C G Am F
I was sittin' in my room half mystified and bored
C G C
And wrote a song that praises the Lord
C G Am F
Maybe it'll be as big as kumbaya
C G Am F
Or maybe I should've left my pen and paper in the drawer
C G Am F
It's all about a man whose faith has been restored
C G C
And wrote a song that praises the Lord
CHORUS:
Em Am Em Am
Lord I am so thankful for getting this guitar
Em Am F G
Yes I am so thankful for taking me this far
VERSE 2:

Well this guitar is awesome and never out of tune

And I play it for the people out underneath the moon

Of a song that praises the Lord
CHORUS
INTRO (x2)
