Thank God For Girls

	  		     Am                 G                        D 
 The girl in the pastry shop with the net in her hair 
               F                Am                  G 
 Is making a cannoli for you to take on your hiking trip 
                        D                           F 
 In the woods with your bros that you’ve known since second grade 
        Am                      G                D 
 And you may encounter dragons or ruffians and be called upon 
     F                  Am 
 To employ your testosterone 
                   G                  D          F 
 In a battle for supremacy and access to females glued to the TV 
Am                   G              D                      F 
 And even if you are victorious you may receive many cuts, bruises, and scrapes 
             Am                     G     
 And you will require band aids and antiseptic ointments 
     D                            F               Am 
 And tender loving kisses on your stab wounds and when you come home 
     G                    D              F            Am 
 She will be there waiting for you with a fire in her eyes 
       G                  D 
 And a big fat cannoli to shove in your mouth 
            F 
 And that's why you 


       Am G    D     F 
 Thank God for girls 
        Am      G 
 Holla Jesu Christe 
           D        F 
 From Tennessee to LA 
       Am G    D     F 
 Thank God for girls 
         Am        G 
 On your reckoning day  
            D            F 
 You better bow down and pray 

          Am  G 
 She’s so big 
          D   F 
 She’s so strong 
         Am   G            D          F 
 She’s so energetic in her sweaty overalls 
       Am G    D     F 
 Thank God for girls 
  
Am                   G               D                     F 
 I'm so glad I got a girl to think of even though she isn't mine 
Am                         G                           D                         F 
 I think about her all the day and all the night it's enough to know that she's a-live 
            Am                        G 
 She says I give her sweaty palms she almost had a heart attack 
D                              F 
 The truth is that I’m just as scared I don’t know how to act 
Am                          G 
 I wish that I could get to know her better 
             D                                F 
 But meeting up in real life would cause the illusion to shatter 
Am                      G 
 I carved her name into all the trees 
D                 F 
 Sang a song down on one knee 
Am                   G                      D                 F 
 Looking at the underwear page of the Sears catalog like when I was 14 
Am       G             D                 F 
 I’m levitating like a magnet turned the wrong way around 
             Am                  G                    D                          F 
 I’m like an Indian Fakir tryna’ meditate on a bed of nails with my pants pulled down 

       Am G    D     F 
 Thank God for girls 
        Am      G 
 Holla Jesu Christe 
           D        F 
 From Tennessee to LA 
       Am G    D     F 
 Thank God for girls 
         Am        G 
 On your reckoning day  
            D            F 
 You better bow down and pray 

          Am  G 
 She’s so big 
          D   F 
 She’s so strong 
         Am   G            D          F 
 She’s so energetic in her sweaty overalls 
       Am G    D     F 
 Thank God for girls 


Am                   G     D                 F            Am 
 God took a rib from Adam, ground it up in a centrifuge machine 
                    G               D                    F 
 Mixed it with cardamom and cloves, microwaved it on the popcorn setting 
       Am           G             D 
 While Adam was like “that really hurts” 
             F             Am            G 
 Going off into the tundra, so pissed at God 
        D                             F                      Am 
 And he started lighting minor forest fires, stealing osprey eggs 
                  G                            D 
 Messing with the bees who were trying to pollinate the echinacea 
F               Am                    G 
 Until God said, “Imma smite you with loneliness 
     D                   F 
 And break your heart in two” 
     Am            G       D               F     Am             G 
 And Adam wept and wailed, tearing out his hair, falling on his knees 
               D 
 Looked to the sky and said 

 “Thank God”  



Enjoy!
