A# A#7 D# What a beautiful thought I am thinking F7 A# Concerning the great speckled bird A#7 D# And to know that my name is recorded F7 A# On the pages of God's Holy Word Desiring to lower her standard They watch every move that she makes They long to find fault with her teachings But really they find no mistake I am glad I have learned of her meekness I am proud that my name is on her book For I want to be one never fearing The face of my Savior to look When He cometh descending from heaven On the cloud that He writes in His Word I'll be joyfully carried to meet Him On the wings of that great speckled bird You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA#  A#7  D#  F7  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
