Chorus: 
 
   G                Bm                  C   Bm      Am 
Thank you, Lord, for what you've done for me.  
   G                Bm                C   Bm     Am 
Thank you, Lord, for what you're doing now. 
   G                Bm           C    Bm      Am 
Thank you, Lord, for ev'ry little thing. 
   G                Bm           C    Bm      Am 
Thank you, Lord, for ev'ry song I sing. 
 
 
Or if you find this simpler, just play the C an extra beat, and skip the 2nd B-minor. 
 
The whole song follows the same basic rhythm and structure.
