Dmaj7                          F#m7
Throughout my lifetimes I'd hesitate
Em7
I'd feel some joy
      Bm7                                Gmaj9
But before I'd show my thanks it became too late
But now all the way I want to find the time
Stop and say
  Bm7                                F   C  G A7
I thank you Lord for giving us each new day

Dmaj7                       F#m7
And as I think back over so many years
Em7
Love that's filled my ears
         Bm7                                Gmaj9
I got to thank you Lord for giving us Pure Smokey
And anyone who hears - hears that voice so free
He really got a hold on me
      Bm                                    F  C
And I thank you all for giving to us pure Smokey,
  C  G
Smokey
  F  C    C  G   A7
Smokey, Smokey

Singing it so sweetly
Like no one else could do
Always trying something new
I thank you all for giving us Pure Smokey
And anyone who hears - hears that voice so free
He really got a hold on me
And I thank you all for giving to us pure Smokey,
Smokey

Gmaj7        Dmaj7
Thank you all
