 Intro:    D      G     x2


D                        G
  Mama hollers  Supper time
             A                 D
  And don't make me tell you twice
                                 G      
  Wash your hands and wipe your face
D                                G
  The table's no place for your toys
              A                D
  And try to use your inside voice
                             G      
  Don't dig in 'til we say Grace
Em                               A
  So we put down our forks and bowed our heads
Em                                    A
  And then she prayed the strangest prayer ever said

 
            D
  I wanna thank You Lord
G             A            D
  For noisy children and slamming doors
G              A              D
  And clothes scattered all over the floor
G            A               Bm
  A husband workin' all the time
               A             G
  Draggin' in dead tired at night
                         Em      A
  An never ending messy kitchen
              D       G       D      G
  And dirty dishes

 
D                             G
  We all got real still and quiet
       A                        D
  And daddy asked Honey, you alright?
                                 G
  She said There ain't nothing wrong
D                       G
  Noisy kids are happy kids
                A                   D
  And slamming doors just means we live
                        G
  In a warm and loving home
Em                           A
  Your long hours and those dishes in the sink
Em                 A
  Means a job and enough to eat


            D
  I wanna thank You Lord
G             A            D
  For noisy children and slamming doors
G              A              D
  And clothes scattered all over the floor
G            A               Bm
  A husband workin' all the time
               A             G
  Draggin' in dead tired at night
                         Em       A
  An never ending messy kitchen

 
                 D
  For my little busy bees
G          A          D
  Beggin' mama, mama can you please?

  Always wantin' me and callin' me
G           A             Bm
  Loads of laundry pilin' up
            A               G
  Crayons crushed into the rug
                          Em     A
  In those little sticky kisses
             D       G
  And dirty dishes
             D       G      D
  And dirty dishes
