This is really a blend of the Oak Ridge Boys and Kenny Chesney
(but mostly Kenny Chesney) It isn't meant to sound exactly like
either of the two recordings so I didn't specify an album.

D G6 D A7
[Verse]
D G6
If it weren't for kids have you ever thought
D A7
There wouldn't be no Santa Clause
G6 A7
Look what the storke just brought
D G A7
Thank God for Kids
G6
We'd all live in a quiet house
D A7
Without Big Bird or a Mickey Mouse
G A7
And Kool-aid on the couch
D
Thank God for Kids
[Chorus]
G A D
Thank God for kids there's magic for a while
G A D
A special kind of sunshine in a smile
G A Bm A G
Do you ever stop to think? or wonder why
D Em Em7 Cmaj7 A
The nearest thing to heaven is a child
D G6
Daddy how does this thing fly?
D A7
A hundred other where's and why's
G6 A7
You really don't know but we try
D
Thank God for Kids
D G6
When you look down in those trustin eyes
D A7
That look to you, you realize
G6 A7
Its love that you can't buy
D
Thank God for Kids
[Chorus]
G A D
Thank God for kids there's magic for a while
G A D
A special kind of sunshine in a smile
G A Bm A G
Do you ever stop to think? or wonder why
D Em Em7 Cmaj7 A
The nearest thing to heaven is a child
D G6
When you get down on your knees tonight
D A7
To thank the Lord for his guiding light
G6 A7
And pray they turn out right
D
Thank God for Kids
[Outro]

Thank God for Grandkids too
