Ricky Skaggs – Thanks Again (Guitar Intro)

            A           E/A
I've sent bouquets for Mother's Day,

    Dsus2/A                         A
For Father's Day, a shirt and a card

                C#7
While they came from the heart,

     F#m  E    D       Bm                  E
They all fell short of saying how special you both are

   A                  E/A
It wasn't 'til I was up and gone,

D                        A
Married with a couple of kids of my own,

C#7                 F#m  E    D
Doing what mamas and daddies do,

       Bm                        E
That I realized what I must have put you through

    A                   E/A
So thanks again for the love in the cradle,

    Em/A      G/B   A/C#    D
And all of the changes that kept me dry

    A                      C#7
And thanks again for the love at our table,

      F#m       E             D
And tannin' my bottom when I told you a lie

    A                     E
For takin' me fishin' and flyin' my kites,

    A          G/B  A/C#  D            Dm
And tuckin' me in, yes, night after night:

      A          E          F#m       D
To my beautiful life-long friends,

     Bm    A/C#     D            E
Hey, Mom and Daddy thanks again

             A                E/A
I'm still a young man, least I think I am,

          Dsus2/A                        A
But I'm watchin' my own hair turn gray

         C#7               F#m    E   D
And your call last Sunday brought to mind,

       Bm                   E7
That I owe you a debt I can never repay

    A                   E/A
So thanks again for worryin' and waitin',

       Em/A      G/B   A/C#     D
When I started datin' on weekend nights

     A                      C#7
And thanks again for the help with my homework,

    F#m         E            D
And sittin' up with me till I got it right

     A                       E
Your car for the prom, your letters in 'Nam,

    A             G/B  A/C#  D        Dm
But most of all, Daddy, for marryin' Mom:

       A          E            F#m      D
To my beautiful life long friends,

     Bm      A/C#  D      E       A
Hey, Mom and Daddy Thanks Again

      A         E           F#m       D
To my beautiful life long friends,

     Bm      A/C#   D       E
Hey, Mom and Daddy thanks again
