🎸 Intro:

G  D7  G Cadd9 G


🎸 Verse 1:
G                 G7
Leanin' on a T-post
   Cadd9          G  Cadd9 G
My eyes up on the sky
G
When I'm meant
      Em              D   A7 D7
To be splicing broken wire
    G              G7
The meadowlark is singing
    Cadd9        G    Cadd9 G
Her old familiar tune
              D7
Her melody surpasses
        G   Cadd9 G
That of mine

🎸 Chorus:
    G                  G          Cadd9
And how could I try now to sing a song
         G           Cadd9    G
When the good Lord's smallest creature
    A7              D
Can croon it out so strong?
      G              G7
And I shouldn't be comparing
    Cadd9          G   Cadd9 G
His handiwork with mine
                          D7       G  Cadd9 G
But I hope the Lord don't mind 4/4 time


🎸 Verse 2:
G                    G7 Cadd9
Later on that evening
                          G Cadd9 G
Just banging down the road
                     Em
Sun beds down to kiss
           D    A7  D7
The plains goodnight
    G              G7
The air takes on a coolness
    Cadd9               G    Cadd9 G
The west wind starts to blow
                    D            G     Cadd9 G
It's pushing up the rainclouds into sight


🎸 Chorus:
    G               G             Cadd9
And how could I try now to tell a tale
         G         Cadd9      G
When the sky tells three each morning
    A7              D
And evening without fail?
      G              G7
And I shouldn't be comparing
    Cadd9          G   Cadd9 G
His handiwork with mine
                          D7       G Cadd9 G
But I hope the Lord don't mind 4/4 time
                           D        Cadd9    G
Yes, I hope the Lord don't mind 4/4 time

D A7 D7  G  G7  Cadd9
G Cadd9 G    D  G Cadd9 G
