[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
