[Intro]
G*   B7*   C*   D*
 
[Verse 1]
   G                C
We loaded up my old station wagon
       D                   G
With a tent, a Coleman and sleepin' bags.
                      C
Some fishin' poles, a cooler of Cokes,
D                    G
Three days before we had to be back.
 
[Pre-chorus 1]
            C                       D
When you're seven you're in seventh heaven
                  G
When you're goin' campin' in the wild outdoors.
      C
As we turned off on that old dirt road
   D
He looked at me and swore...
 
[Chorus 1]
G         D            Am              C
Dad, this could be the best day of my life.
          D                                     G             D
I've been dreamin' day and night about the fun we'll have.
     G      G7                  C             A7
Just me and you doin' what I've always wanted to.
        C
I'm the luckiest boy alive,
            D              G     B7    C     D
This is the best day of my life.
 
[Verse 2]
    G                  C
His fifteenth birthday rolled around,
D             G
 Classic cars were his thing.
                                C
When I pulled in the drive with that old Vette
  D                      G
I thought that boy would go insane.
 
[Pre-chorus 2]
            C
When you're in your teens
     D              G
Your dreams revolve around four spinnin' wheels.
          C
We worked nights on end 'till it was new again,
          D
And as he sat behind the wheel he said,
 
[Chorus 2]
G         D            Am              C
Dad, this could be the best day of my life.
          D                                     G         D
I've been dreamin' day and night about the fun we've had.
     G      G7                  C             A7
Just me and you doin' what I've always wanted to.
        C
I'm the luckiest boy alive,
            D              G     G   G/A  G/B
This is the best day of my life.
 
[Bridge]
C                    G/B
Standin' in a little room
            D                     G
Back of the church with our tuxes on,
C                G/B
Lookin' at him I say,
          D
I can't believe, son that you're grown.
 
[Chorus 3]
 
He said
G*        D*           Am*            C*
Dad, this could be the best day of my life.
          D*               D*              G*      D*
I've been dreamin' day and night of bein' like you.
         G      G7            C                A7
Now it's me and her, watchin' you and mom I've learned,
        C
I'm the luckiest man alive,
            D              G
This is the best day of my life.
        C
I'm the luckiest man alive,
            D*               G   B7   C   D   G*
This is the best day of my life.
