Master's Call\r\nMarty Robbins\r\n\r\n\r\n[Verse 1]\r\n[tab]     [ch]D[/ch]                           [ch]Bm[/ch]\r\nWhen I was but a young man I was wild and full of fire[/tab]\r\n[tab]  [ch]D[/ch]                                  [ch]Bm[/ch]\r\nA youth within my teens, but full of challenge and desire[/tab]\r\n[tab]  [ch]D[/ch]                              [ch]Bm[/ch]\r\nI ran away from home and left my mother and my dad[/tab]\r\n[tab]  [ch]G[/ch]                    [ch]A[/ch]                 [ch]Bm[/ch]\r\nI know it grieved them so to think their only boy was bad[/tab]\r\n\r\n\r\n[Verse 2]\r\n[tab]  [ch]D[/ch]                                   [ch]Bm[/ch]\r\nI fell in with an outlaw band, their names were known quite well[/tab]\r\n[tab]    [ch]D[/ch]                                   [ch]Bm[/ch]\r\nHow many times we robbed and plundered, I could never tell[/tab]\r\n[tab]     [ch]D[/ch]                            [ch]Bm[/ch]\r\nThis kind of sinful living, leads only to a fall[/tab]\r\n[tab]  [ch]G[/ch]                      [ch]A[/ch]                [ch]Bm[/ch]\r\nI learned that much and more the night I heard my Master call[/tab]\r\n\r\n\r\n[Pre-chorus]\r\n[tab]    [ch]G[/ch]                [ch]D[/ch]         [ch]G[/ch]                [ch]D[/ch]\r\nOne night we rustled cattle, a thousand head or so[/tab]\r\n[tab]    [ch]G[/ch]                [ch]D[/ch]                 [ch]Bm[/ch]\r\nAnd started them out on the trail that leads to Mexico[/tab]\r\n[tab]      [ch]G[/ch]               [ch]A[/ch]           [ch]D[/ch]                  [ch]G[/ch]\r\nBut a norther started blowing and lightning flashed about[/tab]\r\n[tab]  [ch]D[/ch]                   [ch]G[/ch]             [ch]A[/ch]                 [ch]D[/ch]\r\nI thought someone was calling me, I thought I heard a shout[/tab]\r\n\r\n\r\n[Chorus]\r\n[tab]     [ch]D[/ch]                                   [ch]F#m[/ch]\r\nThen at that moment lightning struck not twenty yards from me[/tab]\r\n[tab]    [ch]G[/ch]                                  [ch]D[/ch]\r\nAnd left there was a giant cross where once there was a tree[/tab]\r\n[tab]         [ch]Bm[/ch]                             [ch]Em[/ch]\r\nAnd this time I knew I heard a voice, a voice so sweet and strange[/tab]\r\n[tab]  [ch]F#m[/ch]                                [ch]Bm[/ch]\r\nA voice that came from everywhere, a voice that called my name[/tab]\r\n\r\n\r\n[Verse 3]\r\n[tab]   [ch]D[/ch]                            [ch]Bm[/ch]\r\nSo frightened I was thinking of sinful deeds I'd done[/tab]\r\n[tab]  [ch]D[/ch]                                  [ch]Bm[/ch]\r\nI failed to see the thousand head of cattle start to run[/tab]\r\n[tab]    [ch]D[/ch]                            [ch]Bm[/ch]\r\nThe cattle they stampeded, were running all around[/tab]\r\n[tab]   [ch]G[/ch]             [ch]A[/ch]              [ch]Bm[/ch]\r\nMy pony ran but stumbled and it threw me to the ground[/tab]\r\n\r\n\r\n[Pre-chorus]\r\n[tab]  [ch]G[/ch]                [ch]D[/ch]          [ch]G[/ch]                  [ch]D[/ch]\r\nI felt the end was near, that death would be the price[/tab]\r\n[tab]       [ch]G[/ch]               [ch]D[/ch]                   [ch]Bm[/ch]\r\nWhen a mighty bolt of lightning showed the face of Jesus Christ[/tab]\r\n[tab]      [ch]G[/ch]                  [ch]A[/ch]              [ch]D[/ch]              [ch]G[/ch]\r\nAnd I cried, oh Lord, forgive me, don't let it happen now[/tab]\r\n[tab]  [ch]D[/ch]                [ch]G[/ch]              [ch]A[/ch]                 [ch]D[/ch]\r\nI want to live for you alone, oh God, these words I vow[/tab]\r\n\r\n\r\n[Chorus]\r\n[tab]   [ch]D[/ch]                       [ch]F#m[/ch]\r\nMy wicked past unfolded, I thought of wasted years[/tab]\r\n[tab]      [ch]G[/ch]                                 [ch]D[/ch]\r\nWhen another bolt of lightning killed a hundred head of steers[/tab]\r\n[tab]        [ch]Bm[/ch]                         [ch]Em[/ch]\r\nAnd the others rushed on by me and I was left to live[/tab]\r\n[tab]    [ch]F#m[/ch]                          [ch]Bm[/ch]\r\nThe Master had a reason, life is his to take or give[/tab]\r\n\r\n\r\n[Verse 4]\r\n[tab]  [ch]D[/ch]                               [ch]Bm[/ch]\r\nA miracle performed that night, I wasn't meant to die[/tab]\r\n[tab]    [ch]D[/ch]                                   [ch]Bm[/ch]\r\nThe dead ones formed a barricade nearly six or seven high[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]D[/ch]                             [ch]Bm[/ch]\r\nRight behind it there was I, afraid but safe and sound[/tab]\r\n[tab]  [ch]G[/ch]                       [ch]A[/ch]           [ch]Bm[/ch]\r\nI cried and begged for mercy kneeling there upon the ground[/tab]\r\n\r\n\r\n[Verse 5]\r\n[tab]  [ch]D[/ch]                        [ch]Bm[/ch]\r\nA pardon I was granted, my sinful soul set free[/tab]\r\n[tab]   [ch]D[/ch]                             [ch]Bm[/ch]\r\nNo more to fear the angry waves upon life's stormy sea[/tab]\r\n[tab]   [ch]D[/ch]                           [ch]Bm[/ch]\r\nForgiven by the love of God, a love that will remain[/tab]\r\n[tab]  [ch]G[/ch]                [ch]A[/ch]                  [ch]Bm[/ch]\r\nI gave my life and soul the
