Mary Chapin Carpenter – The Calling (Guitar)

Em           G           D            G
Deep in your blood or a voice in your head

C                     G           D
On a dark lonesome highway that finds you instead

Em            G           D            G
So certain it knows you, you can't turn away

C             G             D
Something or someone has found you today

C          G       C            G
Genius to Jesus, maybe He saved us

     C           G            D              Am
But who would believe us, I can't really say

    C          G           C            G
Whatever the calling, the stumbling or falling

     C          G              D                             C
You follow it knowing there's no other way, there's no other way

Em                  G              D          G
They're Zealots and preachers and readers of dreams

C                  G                 D
The righteous gel out of stand, the safe drives to sin

Em             G              D          G
The lonely and lost are just waiting to hear

     C             G              D
Any moment their purpose will be perfectly clear

          C              G                 C            G
And then life would mean more, than their name on their door

          C            G             D    Am
And that far distant shore that's so near

C                G             C            G
They'd hear the calling, the stumbling and falling

         C          G              D             Bm             C
They'd follow it knowing there's nothing to fear,  nothing to fear

Em                 G            D            G
I don't remember a voice on a dark lonesome road

        C            G      D
When I started the journey so long ago

Em               G        D           G
I was only just trying to outrun the noise

            C        G          D
There was never a question of having a choice

C         G        C           G
Jesus to genius maybe they've seen me

     C          G             D              Am
But who would believe me, I can't really say

     G         C             C            G
Whatever the calling, the stumbling and falling

     C          G              D
I followed it knowing there's no other way

C          G       C        G
Jesus to genius, maybe He seen me

     C           G           D               Am
But who would believe me, I can't really say

     C        G            C             G
Whatever the calling, the stumbling and falling

    C              G             D            Bm                 C
I got through it knowing there's no other way,  there's no other way
