A Miracle

C   F   C                 There’s a family     who I love:

C   F   C                 my beautiful wife and my nutty sons. 

Am   G   C   F       It’s nothing short   of a miracle 

C   G   C                 I get to love them   all at once.

 

F      C                    They might think   I’m annoying 

F      C                    when out of tune    I sing

F      C                    or when I toot         in the evening. 

Am   G   C             I just gotta              let it out,

Am   G   C             just like my love    I gotta shout. 

Am   G   C   F       Hopefully when I   fart out of key

Am   G   C             my family will also love me. 

 

C   F   C                 There’s a place       I want to be. 

C   F   C                 Luckily I can          go and see. 

Am   G   C   F       It’s nothing short   of a miracle 

C   G   C                 though it might      not be easy. 

 

F      C                    Like takin’ a ride   on a winter train,

F      C                    or flyin’ high          in an aeroplane

F      C                    and all the ways we can get around

Am   G   C             from two feet         to bicycles

Am   G   C             with the miracle     of muscles

Am   G   C   F       pumpin’ our blood, feedin’ our cells 

Am   G   C             so we’re not stuck in the ground. 

 

Dm      Am             It’s magical,

C         G                though not literal.

Dm      G   C   F    It's definitely a miracle            since it

Am   G   C             makes me feel sentimental. 

 

C   F   C                 There’s a word       I wanna say

C   F   C                 to whoever made    things this way

Am   G   C   F       It’s nothing short   of a miracle 

C   G   C                 so “Thanks!”          I must convey. 

 

F      C                    What a wonderful world I’ve been given

F      C                    or at least allowed            to live in

F      C                    I couldn’t think of a better place

Am   G   C             or family      to live with

Am   G   C             when they’re away I always miss. 

Am   G   C   F       We’re making our way            and findin’ our bliss

Am   G   C             and always returning            to base

 

C   F   C                

C   F   C                

Am   G   C   F       It’s nothing short   of a miracle 

C   G   C                 so “Thanks!”          I must convey.
