E             A       E
Well, I've been called a self-made man
 E              B7       E
And girl don't you believe it's true
 E           A      E
I know exactly how lucky I am
 E       B7           E
When I'm gettin' this close to you
  A            C#m
It's high time I'm givin' some praise
 A                   C#m     B   A
To those that got me where I am today


[Chorus]
         E
I got to thank Mama for the cookin'
 A
Daddy for the whoopin'
    E             B7
The devil for the trouble that I get into
   E              A
I got to give credit where credit is due
         E
I thank the bank for the money
  B7   E
Thank God for you


[Verse 2]
 E             A       E
A strong heart and a willin' hand
E              B7       E
That's the secret to my success
 E           A      E
A good woman, I try to be a good man
 E       B7           E
A good job, Lord, I know I've been blessed
 A            C#m
I'm just part of a greater plan
 A                   C#m     B   A
It doesn't matter which part I am


[Chorus]
         E
I got to thank Mama for the cookin'
 A
Daddy for the whoopin'
     E             B7
The devil for the trouble that I get into
   E              A
I got to give credit where credit is due
         E
I thank the bank for the money
  B7   E
Thank God for you


[Chorus #2]
          E
I got to thank Mama for the teachin'
 A
Daddy for the preachin'
     E               B7
The devil for the trouble that I get into
   E               A
I got to give credit where credit is due
          E
I thank the bank for the money
  B7  E
Thank God for you
