G7                    C
Sunday morning in the valley
D7                      G7
We would gather for the service
                        C
Emily Jane would run to meet me
D7                        G7
She'd smile at papa kinda nervous
E7                       Am
All the people came from miles around
D7                   G7
I can still hear the sound


[Chorus]

   F         C
As they sang thanks to the Lord
        F
For the sun up in the sky
        D7
For the corn that's growing high
            G7
And for the child that didn't die
C                          F
Thanks to the Lord for the crops and for the farm
        D7
For the strength in my right arm
        G7
And for keepin' us from harm
C      G7     Am     F
Thanks thanks thanks thanks
C             G7         F    G7         C
Thanks to the Lord for a girl like Emily Jane


[Verse 2]

G7                        C
Came the day when we were married
D7                      G7
All our folks in the congregation
                       C
Emily Jane was like an angel
D7                           G7
The sweetest thing in all creation
E7                    Am
Papa hugged me and my momma cried
D7                    G7
Everybody smiled with pride


[Chorus]

  F         C
As they sang thanks to the Lord
        F
For the sun up in the sky
        D7
For the corn that's growing high
            G7
And for the child that didn't die
C                          F
Thanks to the Lord for the crops and for the farm
        D7
For the strength in my right arm
        G7
And for keepin' us from harm
C      G7     Am     F
Thanks thanks thanks thanks
C             G7         F    G7         C
Thanks to the Lord for a girl like Emily Jane
