[Verse]
                                      D2                     G
it sure is nice sitting on this porch picking these old time song
   D                                   D2                     A
no matter how far i get from here this place still feels like home
                   Bm                                     G
remember all those summer nights we talked about life and such
                D          A           D
dad ive come to realise, i havent said enough

[Chorus]
                                                 G
but thanks for the g chord, teaching me about the good lord
                   D                  A
giving me that old ford when i turned 16
                   Bm                        G
thanks for hanging in there when i was going nowhere
                     D
and thanks for never changing that lock on the front door
A              D       G A D
thanks for the g chord

                                                   D2                  G
that old flat top martin you gave me back then you know i still got it now
          D                                   D2          A
i keep it locked up in that same old case you use to tote around
                   Bm                            G
sometimes when the crowd is quiet i bring it out again
         D                            A               D
and play the first song you taught me back when i was 10

[Chorus]
                   Bm                        G
thanks for hanging in there when i was going nowhere
                     D
and thanks for never changing that lock on the front door
A              D       G A D
thanks for the g chord
