It’s Not for Me to Understand – Willie Nelson [Intro] | D | % | G | % | [Verse 1]
           G         D     G     G7
I passed a home, the other day

             C                    G    G7
The yard was filled, with kids at play

           C                 G
And on the side-walk of this home

         D               G
A little boy, stood all alone

                      D         G     G7
His smiling face, was sweet and kind

            C                G      G7
But I could see, the boy was blind

            C                G
He listened to, the children play

           D                 G       G7
I bowed my head, and there I prayed
[Chorus]
           C         F         C
Dear Lord above, why must this be

             G      C            G    G7
And in these words, came down to me

      C                  G
After all, you’re just a man

             D            G      G7
It’s not for you, to understand

             C       F      C
It’s not for you, to reason why

            G         C       G     G7
You too are blind, without my eyes

             C              G
So, question not, what I command

             D            G
It’s not for you, to understand
[Instrumental] | D | % | G | % | [Verse 2]
           G        D          G    G7
Now when I pray, my prayer has won

           C                 G     G7
I pray His will, not mine be done

      C               G
After all, I’m just a man

                 D           G      G7
And it’s not for me, to understand
[Chorus]
           C         F         C
Dear Lord above, why must this be

             G      C            G   G7
And in these words, came down to me

      C                  G
After all, you’re just a man

             D            G      G7
It’s not for you, to understand

             C       F      C
It’s not for you, to reason why

            G          C      G     G7
You too are blind, without my eyes

             C              G
So, question not, what I command

             D            G
It’s not for you, to understand
