Emmylou Harris - Green Pastures


 
(verse 1)
B                         E
Trouble and trials often betray those,
B                         F#
On  in the weary body to stray,
              B                    E
But we shall walk beside the still waters,
               B       F#          B
With the good shepherd leading the way,


(verse 2)
B                                         E
Those who have strayed were sought by the master,
            B                     F#
He who once gave his life for the sheep,
            B                   E
Out on the mountain still he is seaching,
              B    F#       B
Bringing them in forever to keep,


(chorus)
B                              E   
Going up home to live in green pastures,
               B                  F#
Where we shall live and die never more,
         B                    E
Even the Lord will be in that number,
              B            F#       B
When we shall reach   that heavenly shore,


(verse 3)
B                               E
We will not heed the voice of a stranger,
             B               F#
For he would lead us all  to despair,
          B                   E
Following on with Jesuse our savior,
             B          F#         B
We shall all reach that country so fair,


(chorus)
B                              E   
Going up home to live in green pastures,
               B                  F#
Where we shall live and die never more,
         B                    E
Even the Lord will be in that number,
              B            F#       B
When we shall reach that heavenly shore,
