Misc Traditional – The Whippoorwill Song I Give You Freedom (Guitar)

C                          Dm
I set the boundries of the ocean vast,

G              G7                 C
Carved out the mountains from the distant past,

C                     Dm      Dm7
Molded a man from the miry clay,

G               G7           C
Breathed in him life, but he went astray.

C                     F
I own the cattle on a thousand hills;

G7                        C             Gm
I write the music for the whippoorwills,

A                   A7         Dm
Control the planets with their rocks and rills,

G7                      C
But give you freedom to use your own will.

C                       Dm
I hold the waters in my mighty hand,

G              G7             C
Spread out the heavens with a single span,

C                         Dm        Dm7
Make all creation tremble at My voice,

G                       C
But My own sons come to Me by choice.

C                     F
I own the cattle on a thousand hills;

G7                        C             Gm
I write the music for the whippoorwills,

A                   A7         Dm
Control the planets with their rocks and rills,

G7                      C
But give you freedom to use your own will.

C                      Dm
Even the oxen know the Master's stall,

G              G7             C
And sheep will recognize the shepherd's call.

  C                         Dm        Dm7
I could demand your love- I own you twice;

G        G7              C
But only willing love is worth the price.

C                     F
I own the cattle on a thousand hills;

G7                        C             Gm
I write the music for the whippoorwills,

A                   A7         Dm
Control the planets with their rocks and rills,

G7                      C
But give you freedom to use your own will.

C                           F
And if you want Me to, I'll make you whole;

G7                        C         Gm
I'll only do it though if you say so.

A          A7              Dm
I'll never force you for I love you so;

G7                        C
I give you freedom; is it yes or no?

G7                        C
I give you freedom; is it yes or no?

G7                        C
I give you freedom; is it yes or no?
