Intro: 
E  C#m  B  E 


Verse: 
       E 
I see sad sad faces  
    D 
In faraway places  
  A                       E 
Scattered all around the world 

           E 
Living in cardboard cities  
          D 
Lord you gotta have pity 
        A                       E 
On the hungry little boys and girls  

           E                     D 
And if it wasn’t for a loving, gracious Lord  
    A                    E 
Uh that could be me and you 

              E 
It’s time to quit our complaining  
 D 
And start remembering  
       A                       E 
Just exactly who we owe it all to 


 E                        C#m 
Don’t forget to thank the teacher   
          A 
And the preacher  
     E           B             A 
For saving your mind and your soul 

 A                        C#m 
Don’t forget to thank the fireman  
       A 
The policeman  
           E             B         A 
When your world’s going out of control 

 A                        C#m 
Don’t forget to thank the mothers  
         A 
And the soldiers 
  E          D        A 
Praying and going to war    

 A                    C#m               
And at the end of the day   
 B                         E 
Don’t forget to thank the Lord

Verse: 
              E 
Well there’s too much hate  
 D 
Too much debatin’  
     A                E                
And politicking going on 

           E 
We get to fussing about the process  
 D 
Worried about the BS            
    A                      E 
Instead of what makes us strong 

         E 
Like In God We Trust 
          D 
And the ones we love 
     A                 E 
And working hard everyday 
  
        E 
And if you don’t like it friend 
 D 
You can leave it  
         A                    E 
But you better listen when I say

Don’t forget to thank the Lord
