      THE BEST DAY     George Strait 

A                      D                    E                   A                         

We loaded up my old station wagon   With a tent a coleman and sleepin' bags

A                      D                     E             A          

Some fishin' poles a cooler of cokes Three days before we had to be back

              Bm                       E

When you're seven you're in seventh heaven 

                    A            

When you're going campin' in the wild outdoors 

        Bm                D                 Bm               E

As we turned off on that old dirt road He looked at me and swore



CHORUS:

 A         E            D             Bm     

Dad this could be the best day of my life

             E               D                         A   E

I've been dreamin' day and night about the fun we'll have

      A     F#m              D                Bm   

Just me and you doing what I've always wanted to

          D           Bm                E              A    1.) C# D E  2.) D 

I'm the luckiest boy alive this is the best day of my life.



       A                  D            E           A

His fifteenth birthday rolled around Classic cars were his thing

A                                D 

When I pulled in the drive with that old Vette

     E                   A                Bm

I thought that boy would go insane When you're in your teens

        E              A    

Your dreams revolve around four spinnin' wheels

            Bm                       D

We worked nights on end till it was new again

           Bm               E

And as he sat behind the wheel     go to chorus

   D                  Bm                   E                    A

Standin' in a little room in back of the church with our tux's on

  D               Bm            E             

Lookin' at him I say I can't believe son that you're grown

         A          E           D              Bm  

He said Dad, this could be the best day of my life

            E                D                   A   E

I've been dreamin' day and night of being like you

         A      F#m           D                 Bm     

Now it's me and her watchin' you and Mom I've learned

          D            Bm                E              A 

I'm the luckiest man alive, this is the best day of my life

          D           Bm                 E               A

I'm the luckiest man alive, this is the best day of my life.
