Ricky Skaggs – Shepherds Voice (Guitar)

G13/B                 C                          G13/B
When I was fresh from God       The first thing I heard

                     C          G13/B                   C
As I came into this life        The sound of fear    ringin' in my ear

      G13/B                            C
My own voice    As life hit me and I cried

     G13/B                           C
As I grew through the years     The chorus of temptation

G13/B                           C
Beckoned me to come and sing a part

    G13/B                     C                      G13/B
But Jesus was the name  That rolled from my momma's tongue

                  Dm13    Bbmaj7
And settled in my heart

                       G                       Fmaj7
Now what I'm listening for      Through all the noise

Dm                      G                      Fmaj7
        A whisper in my ear     The Shepherd's voice

G13/B                                         C
The confusion that the bustle brings     The pretty song the siren sings

    G13/B                     C         G13/B
The sound of thief against forbidden fruit    A fallen man who screams in pain

  C
A groaning earth beneath the strain

G13/B                           Dm13    Bbmaj7
Who could hope to ever hear the truth?

                       G                        Fmaj7
Now what I'm listening for      Through all the noise

Dm                      G                      Fmaj7
        A whisper in my ear     The Shepherd's voice

      G13/B                 C        G13/B
Now When I am tired     And I am weary Of,

                     C
 this life and I am done

      G13/B                         C             G13/B
I will close my eyes            And let my spirit still

                 Dm13  Bbmaj7
Until I hear the Son

                       G                        Fmaj7
Now what I'm listening for      Through all the noise

Dm                      G                      Fmaj7
        A whisper in my ear     The Shepherd's voice

                       G                        Fmaj7
Now what I'm listening for      Through all the noise

Dm                      G                      Fmaj7
        A whisper in my ear     The Shepherd's voice
