I wanna thank you, world, for lettin' me belong
G Am D
I'm just 1/4 of one small group that sings your songs
G C
I know that there are others who have served in bigger ways
Am D (break)
All I can do is sing your music all my days
G C
It makes me grateful just to know, to know that I can be
G Am D
Unique & fill a spot beside the other 3
G Bm C Em
Without a place here in this world, I know that I'd be lost
C D7 G
Thank you, world, for lettin' me contribute to the cause
Verse 2:
(Harold):
I may not ever stand like Stonewall Jackson stood
But standin' on that stage to me is just as good
Now I may never be a heavy or a break
But you've given me the strength, the strength to pull my way
(Phil):
Oh for the part I sing is truly part of me
& it does its part to lock the other parts in key
& it does its part to cool, cool that sweet-a pose
Thank you, world, for lettin' me contribute to the cause
(key shifts to A)
Verse 3:
(Don):
A D...etc.
Oh world, you've given me a place that I call mine
Though I've stepped out of it & I've gotten out of line
Sometimes I sing the music slightly out of key
& I know I make it harder for the other 3
(Lew):
I've always done my part the very best I could
& it's done the other guys a world of good
You've let me sing your praises, world, & about your faults
Thank you, world, for lettin' me contribute to the cause
(All):
It makes me grateful just to know, to know that I can be
Unique & fill a spot beside the other 3
Without a place here in this world, I know that I'd be lost
Thank you, world, for lettin' me contribute to the cause
Without a place here in this world, I know that I'd be lost
Thank you, world, for lettin' me contribute to the cause
Thank you, world, for lettin' me contribute to the cause
