INTRO: D G D/F# A A7 D  G D A7 
 

VERSE: 
      D                         G 
If it weren't for kids have you ever thought 
D/F#                 A    
There wouldn't be no Santa Claus 
    G                        A  
And look what the stork just brought 
              D    A7     
Thank God for kids        
 
VERSE: 
    D                  G 
And we'd all live in a quiet house 
    D/F#            A 
Without Big Bird or Mickey Mouse 
    G               A             
And Kool Aid on the couch 
             D     A7  
Thank God for kids  


      G                     A7          D   
Thank God for kids, there's magic for a while 
  G               A7            D   
A special kind of sunshine in a smile 
       G            A7              Bm  
Do you ever stop to think or wonder why 
    G       D/F#     Em          C7M  A7 
The nearest thing to heaven is a child  
 
VERSE: 
D               G  
Daddy, how does this thing fly? 
  D/F#          A   
a hundred other wheres and whys 
    G                         A 
You really don't know but you try 
             D     A7  
Thank God for kids  
 
VERSE: 
         D                  G      
When you look down in those trusting eyes 
     D/F#         A  
That look to you, you realize 
          G                   A   
There's a love that you can't buy 
             D     A7  
Thank God for kids  
 
REPEAT CHORUS: 
   
VERSE: 
       D                G 
When you get down on your knees tonight 
   D                      A   
To thank the Lord for His guiding light 
    G                  A  
And pray they turn out rignt 
             D       
Thank God for kids
