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.

Intro:
D    G6    D    A7
D    G6    D    A7


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


Repeat Chorus


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

G6           A7           D
Thank God for   Grandkids too
