As recorded by Colter Wall (From the 2025 Album MEMORIES AND EMPTIES) [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
[Outro] G Cadd9 G Em7 D A7 D7 G G7 Cadd9 G Cadd9 G D G Cadd9 G Cadd9 G Cadd9 G Em D
