Intro: G C D G 

G                   C        D      G 
I grew up two hours north of Birmingham 
G                       C            D       G 
Me and my daddy used to fish next to Wilson Dam 
G                      C          D       G 
He told some stories, Camaros and J.W. Dant 
     D                       C            D         G 
When I got a little older, I wouldn't and now Daddy can't 



           C           D G 
So I thank God for the TVA 
      C           D G 
Thank God for the TVA 
      G                       C          D         G    G/F#  Em 
Where me and my daddy used to bow to the river and pray 
      C           D G 
Thank God for the TVA 

     G                   C        D          G 
When I was 15, me and my girl sat out on the lock 
 G                        C         D        G 
Watchin' the raccoons and terrapins dance on rocks 
 G                 C       D        G 
She let me put my hand up under her shirt 
   D                       C          D  G 
I wanted her to want me so bad, it hurt 



           C           D G 
So I thank God for the TVA 
      C           D G 
Thank God for the TVA 
      G                       C             D           G    G/F#  Em 
Where me and my baby used to lay around and wait on the day 
      C           D G 
Thank God for the TVA 


Intro: D C D G (3x)

     G                     C           D       G 
My granddaddy told me when he was just 7 or so  
    G                        C             D          G 
His daddy lost work and they didn't have a row to hoe 
    G                   C         D        G 
Not too much to eat for 7 boys and 3 girls 
   D                            C             D          G 
All lived in a tent, a bunch of sharecroppers versus the world 

       G                          C         D    G 
So his momma sat down and wrote a letter to FDR 
      G                               C           D         G 
Then a couple days later, a couple of country men came in a car 
       G                          C         D           G 
Rolled out in the field, told his daddy to put down the plow 
      D                            C             D          G 
And he helped build the damn, gave power to most the South 

 
           C           D G 
So I thank God for the TVA 
      C           D G 
Thank God for the TVA 
      G                    C            D           G    G/F#  Em 
Where Roosevelt let us all work for an honest day's pay 
      C           D G 
Thank God for the TVA
