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


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


[Verse]
     G                   C        
When I was 15, me and my girl sat 
D          G
out on the lock
 G                        C       
Watchin' the raccoons and 
  D        G
terrapins dance on rocks

 G                 C       D     
She let me put my hand up under 
   G
her shirt
   D                       C      
I wanted her to want me so bad, it
    D  G
 hurt


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

      C           D G
Thank God for the TVA

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

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


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