Verse 1

Not planning our day around a TV set

Paying our bills and staying out of debt
            D                           A
That?s im - portant to me - That?s im - portant to me

Openin? the windows and lettin? in air

Holding hands when we're saying a prayer
            D                                A
That?s im - portant to me - Yea, that?s im - portant to me

      Having somebody to share my life
A                      E             F#m7
Loving my husband, and being a wife
                  D      A/C#  Bm7  E
And the very best mother I can be
                    A
That?s important to me

Telling the truth, and being real

Feeding my family a home cooked meal

That?s im - portant to me - That?s im - portant to me

Planting a garden and watching it grow

Keeping it country on the radio

That?s im - portant to me - Yea, that?s im - portant to me

      Always having you to hold,

Being beside you when we grow old
                   D          A/C#    Bm7   E
And they plant us ?neath that big old tree
                    A   D  A

Being beside you when we grow old

Believing our dreams will take us somewhere

Still bein' ourselves if we ever get there

That?s im - portant to me - that?s im - portant to me

Yea, that?s im - portant to me - that?s im - portant to me

That?s important to me



This is my interpretation of the song and is what I hear. I have supplied some of the chords to
this one. The rest of them can be played as normal. Please note the A/F# isn't a true inversion.
If you listen to the intro, the first verse and some other places in the song, you will hear
the F# being played with the A. If desired, you can use your thumb to come over the top of the
neck and play the 6th string at the second fret - this will give you a true A/F#, however this
sounds to bassy to me. A better way to play it is to the second finger to barre the open A and
then use your pinky to play the F# on fourth string at the fourth fret as needed. This actually
sounds much better and still gives you a decent chance to get to the open D major chord.
Please note that I did not tab out the A/F# anywhere except for the intro. If you listen to the
song a couple of times, you should be able to quickly figure out where it is played.
