   I GIVE YOU FREEDOM (THE WHIP-POOR-WILL SONG)
        THE JOHN MARSHALL FAMILY


INTRO:
C majorC G+G C majorC

VERSE:
C majorC              DmDm
I set the bound’ries of the ocean vast,
 G+G                 C majorC
Carved out the mountains from the distant past,
 C majorC           DmDm
Moulded a man from the miry clay,
 G+G              C majorC
Breathed in him life, but he went astray.


CHORUS:
C majorC           DmDm
I own the cattle on a thousand hills,
G+G              C majorC
I write the music for the whippoorwills,
 A augmentedA               DmDm
Control the planets with their rocks and rills,
 G+G            C majorC
But give you freedom to use your own will.


VERSE:
C majorC            DmDm
I hold the waters in My mighty hand
 G+G              C majorC
Spread out the heavens with a single span,
 C majorC            DmDm
Make all creation tremble at My voice,
 G+G             C majorC
But My own friends come to Me by choice.


CHORUS:
C majorC           DmDm
I own the cattle on a thousand hills,
G+G              C majorC
I write the music for the whippoorwills,
 A augmentedA               DmDm
Control the planets with their rocks and rills,
 G+G            C majorC
But give you freedom to use your own will.

VERSE:
 C majorC            DmDm
Even the oxen knows the Master’s stall,
 G+G               C majorC
And sheep will recognize the shepherd’s call
C majorC              DmDm
I could demand your love – I own you twice,
 G+G            C majorC
But only willing love is worth the price!


VERSE:
 C majorC              DmDm
And if you want Me to, I’ll make you whole,
 G+G            C majorC
I’ll only do it tho’ if you say so.
 A augmentedA              DmDm
I’ll never force you, for I love you so,
G+G              C majorC
I give you freedom – Is it “yes” or “no”?

DmDm     E minorEm G+G      C majorC
I give you freedom – Is it “yes” or “no”?
