[original de Violeta Parra]
[Verso 1]
AmGracias a la Bm7b5vida, E7que me ha dado AmtantAm7oAm6  
Me dio dos luG7ceros que cuando los Cabro
Perfecto distiC7ngo lo negro del blFanco
Y en alto ciE7elo su fondo estrAmellado
Y en las mulDmtitudes el hombE7re que yo Amamo.
[Verso 2]
AmGracias a la Bm7b5vida, E7que me ha dado AmtantAm7oAm6  
me ha dado el G7oído que en todo su aCncho
graba noche y C7dia grillos y caFnarios
martillos, tE7urbinas, ladridos, chuAmbascos
y la voz tan Dmtierna de mi E7bien aAmmado.
[Verso 3]
AmGracias a la Bm7b5vida qE7ue me ha dado AmtantAm7oAm6  
me ha dado el G7sonido y el abeceCdario
con el las palC7abras que pienso y deFclaro
madre amigo herE7mano y luz alumAmbrando
la ruta del Dmalma del que E7estoy Amamando.
[Verso 4]
AmGracias a la Bm7b5vida, E7que me ha dado AmtantAm7oAm6  
me ha dado la G7marcha de mis pieCs cansados
con ellos anC7duve ciudades y Fcharcos,
playa y deE7siertos, montaAmñas y llanos
y la casa Dmtuya, tu calle E7y tu Ampatio.
[Verso 5]
AmGracias a la E7vida que me ha dado tAmanto
me di el corazG7ón que agita su mCarco
cuando miro el C7fruto del cerebro huFmano
cuando miro el E7bueno tan lejos del Ammalo
cuando miro el Dmfondo de tus E7ojos Amclaros.
[Verso 6]
AmGracias a la Bm7b5vida, E7que me ha dado AmtantAm7oAm6  
me ha dado la G7risa y me ha dado el Cllanto
asi yo disC7tingo dicha de queFbranto
los dos materiE7ales que forman mi Amcanto
y el canto de uDmstedes que es el E7mismo Amcanto,
y el canto de Dmtodos que es mi E7proprio Amcanto
AmGracias a la E7vidaAm
