^CI set the bound’ries of the ^Dmocean vast, C^Garved out the mountains from the di^Cstant past, M^Coulded a man from the ^Dmmiry clay, Br^Geathed in him life, but he w^Cent astray.

CHORUS:

^CI own the cattle on a t^Dmhousand hills, ^GI write the music for the wh^Cippoorwills, C^Aontrol the planets with their r^Dmocks and rills, B^Gut give you freedom to u^Cse your own will.

VERSE:

^CI hold the waters in My m^Dmighty hand Sp^Gread out the heavens with a s^Cingle span, M^Cake all creation tremble ^Dmat My voice, B^Gut My own friends come to ^CMe by choice.

CHORUS:

^CI own the cattle on a t^Dmhousand hills, ^GI write the music for the wh^Cippoorwills, C^Aontrol the planets with their r^Dmocks and rills, B^Gut give you freedom to u^Cse your own will.

E^Cven the oxen knows the M^Dmaster’s stall, A^Gnd sheep will recognize the sh^Cepherd’s call ^CI could demand your love – I ^Dmown you twice, B^Gut only willing love is w^Corth the price!

^DmI give you f^Emreed^Gom – Is it “y^Ces” or “no”?
