   G                C
We loaded up my old station wagon

       D                   G
With a tent, a Coleman and sleepin' bags.

                      C
Some fishin' poles, a cooler of Cokes,

D                    G
Three days before we had to be back.

[Pre-chorus 1]

            C                       D
When you're seven you're in seventh heaven

                  G
When you're goin' campin' in the wild outdoors.

      C
As we turned off on that old dirt road

   D
He looked at me and swore...

[Chorus 1]

G         D            Am              C
Dad, this could be the best day of my life.

          D                                     G             D
I've been dreamin' day and night about the fun we'll have.

     G      G7                  C             A7
Just me and you doin' what I've always wanted to.

        C
I'm the luckiest boy alive,

            D              G     B7    C     D
This is the best day of my life.

[Verse 2]

    G                  C
His fifteenth birthday rolled around,

D             G
 Classic cars were his thing.

                                C
When I pulled in the drive with that old Vette

  D                      G
I thought that boy would go insane.

[Pre-chorus 2]

            C
When you're in your teens

     D              G
Your dreams revolve around four spinnin' wheels.

          C
We worked nights on end 'till it was new again,

          D
And as he sat behind the wheel he said,

[Chorus 2]

G         D            Am              C
Dad, this could be the best day of my life.

          D                                     G         D
I've been dreamin' day and night about the fun we've had.

     G      G7                  C             A7
Just me and you doin' what I've always wanted to.

        C
I'm the luckiest boy alive,

            D              G     G   G/A  G/B
This is the best day of my life.

[Bridge]

C                    G/B
Standin' in a little room

            D                     G
Back of the church with our tuxes on,

C                G/B
Lookin' at him I say,

          D
I can't believe, son that you're grown.

[Chorus 3] He said

G*        D*           Am*            C*
Dad, this could be the best day of my life.

          D*               D*              G*      D*
I've been dreamin' day and night of bein' like you.

         G      G7            C                A7
Now it's me and her, watchin' you and mom I've learned,

        C
I'm the luckiest man alive,

            D              G
This is the best day of my life.

        C
I'm the luckiest man alive,

            D*               G   B7   C   D   G*
This is the best day of my life.
