Good Chords

"Good" by Dave Barnes
Tabbed by: Casey Truman
Note: The lick in the opening and chorus is easiest played on the piano so
I'm just gonna put the notes. It's C# D E A quick then D C# B A half-time.
Play it over an A bass 2 times then a D bass 2 times for the intro.
*In the verses, you can play around with sus2, sus4, or just a 5 on any of the chords.
A
As the sun slowly rises above the river
I look out over all that God has made
Dsus2
Listen as the day starts to awaken
A                                 E5
I thank God for things that never change
A
I can hear her laughing in the kitchen
And the sounds of little footsteps on the stairs
Dsus2
I’ve got all I’ll ever need: a wife, a home, a family
A                                      E5

The lessons in the mistakes
Dadd9               A/C#               Bm     E5 (Quick change from Bm to E5)
Help me count these blessings like I should
             A     Dadd9  (Lick begins on good)
And it’s so good
A
Every day’s a gift that I’ve been given
 
Every breath feels like a second chance
Dsus2
And everything I’ve done heaven has seen
And God just keeps on forgiving me, and I
A                           E5
Do my best to change what I can

I’ve been given more than I deserve

For a past so full of bridges burned

I couldn’t make this better if I tried
