verse 1 
        G               Em 
Congratulations, congratulations 
             Am                     D 
You have survived, oh, you stayed alive 
                G                        Em 
This life is a killer, but, oh, what a ride 
                      Am                        D 
Just to wake up each morning, just to open your eyes 
                     G                    Em 
You got a beautiful body and a beautiful mind 
             Am                   D 
Oh, my baby girl, you're one of a kind

verse 2 
                  G                      Em 
I go down to the station to deliver salutations 
                       Am                   D 
To the travelers with patience, oh, congratulations 
                      G                     Em 
All this coming and going, oh, it just gets old 
                          Am                  D 
I want to stay here with you in our beautiful home 
                G                      Em 
And count our blessings and count our friends 
            Am                        D 
And pray to God it never comes to an end
