"Good" by Dave Barnes
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.
AAs the sun slowly rises above the river
I look out over all that God has made
Dsus2Listen as the day starts to awaken
AI thank God for things that never E5change
AI can hear her laughing in the kitchen
And the sounds of little footsteps on the stairs
Dsus2I’ve got all I’ll ever need: a wife, a home, a family
AAnd I thank God for all those answered E5prayers
Dadd9And it’s good
Dadd9I got more than I ever thought I Awould
AI can finally see how all the E5wrong turns and the heartaches
The Bm7lessons in the F#m7mistakes
               Dadd9                 A/C#       Bm   E5(Quick change from  Bmto E5)
Help me count these blessings like I should
             A     Dadd9  (Lick begins on good)
And it’s so good 
AEvery day’s a gift that I’ve been given
Every breath feels like a second chance
Dsus2And everything I’ve done heaven has seen
And God just keeps on forgiving me, and I
ADo my best to change what I E5can
Dadd9And it’s so good
Dadd9I got more than I ever thought I Awould
AI can finally see how all the E5wrong turns and the heartaches
The Bm7lessons in the F#m7mistakes
Dadd9Help me count these A/C#blessings like I sBmhouldE5  
Dadd9And it’s good to know that I have been Aforgiven
E5                          F#m    G#A    A/C# (Quick changes) [G# bass note optional]
Good to have her laying by my side
Dadd9I’ve been given more than I deserve
A/C#For a past so full of F#m7bridges burned
Dadd9I couldn’t make this A/C#better if I trBmied E5  
Dadd9And it’s so good
Dadd9I got more than I ever thought I Awould
AI can finally see how all the E5wrong turns and the heartaches
The Bm7lessons in the F#m7mistakes
