The Great Speckled Bird: The Louvin Brothers
Album: Close Harmony (Bear Family)

Tabbed by Gary W, from recording 21 Aug 2006

Intro: Follow pattern of any last line

(G) What a beautiful (G7) thought that I am (C) thinking
Con-(D)-cerning a (D7) great speckled (G) bird
Remember her (G7) name is re-(C)-corded
On the (D) pages of (D7) God's Holy (G) Word

Desiring to (G7) lower her (C) standard
They (D) watch every (D7) move that she (G) makes
They long to find (G7) fault with her (C) teachings
But (D) really they (D7) find no mis-(G)-take

Instrumental: Follow pattern of any verse

(G) I am glad I have (G7) learned of her (C) meekness
I am (D) proud that my (D7) name is in her (G) book
For I want to be (G7) one never (C) fearing
The (D) face of my (D7) Savior to (G) look

When He cometh des-(G7)-cending from (C) heaven
On the (D) cloud that He (D7) writes in His (G) Word
I'll be joyfully (G7) carried to (C) meet Him
On the (D) wings of that (D7) great speckled (G) bird
