The Best Day

	  		G                   C 
We loaded up my old stationwagon 
       D                  G 
With a tent a coleman and sleepin' bags 
                     C 
Some fishin' poles a cooler of cokes 
      D              G 
Three days before we had to be back 
            Am                      D 
When you're seven you're in seventh heaven 
                  G 
When you're going campin' in the wild outdoors 
      Am                 C 
As we turned off on that old dirt road 
    Am              D 
He looked at me and swore…

G         D           C               Am 
Dad, this could be the best day of my life 
          D                C                        G     D 
I've been dreamin' day and night about the fun we'll have 
     G      Em             C                  Am 
Just me and you doing what I've always wanted to 
        C            Am                D              G 
I'm the luckiest boy alive this is the best day of my life. 


G                      C 
His fifteenth birthday rolled around 
D             G 
Classic cars were his thing 
                                C 
When I pulled in the drive with that old Vette 
  D                      G 
I thought that boy would go insane 
     Am 
When you're in your teens 
     D              G 
Your dreams revolve around four spinnin' wheels 
          Am                        C 
We worked nights on end till it was new again 
          Am             D 
And as he sat behind the wheel… 

(repeat Chorus) 
C                    Am                  D                     G 
Standin' in a little room in back of the church with our tux's on 
C                Am           D 
Lookin' at him I say, I can't believe son that you're grown…

He said Dad, this could be the best day of my life 
          D                C                   G    D 
I've been dreamin' day and night of being like you 
         G      Em           C                 Am 
Now it's me and her watchin' you and Mom I've learned 
         C           Am                 D              G 
I'm the luckiest man alive, this is the best day of my life 
         C           Am                 D              G 
I'm the luckiest man alive, this is the best day of my life.
