Intro: G  C  G  C 

verse 1 
     G                                 C 
Some days the trail I follow grows too narrow and too dense 
      G                           C 
And I can’t always walk along the top rail of the fence  
          G                           C 
There are times I can’t move forward, times I can’t back out 
          G                 F              C           G 
There are times I can’t fly high, beyond a shadow of a doubt 


verse 2 
                               C 
Stubbornly, I struggle on, not knowing what’s ahead  
         G                              C 
With the tangle still around me when at night I find my bed 
  G                                     C 
I toss and turn, and turn and toss, and hold my pillow tight 
         G           F             C               G 
Oh, it’s then I go a-walking, I go walking late at night 


                                     C                 G 
I go walking late at night, when the world is calm and still 
        Em                 C              G                 C 
And the stars they light a pathway to the top of Shepherd’s Hill 
      G             Bm          C               G 
I lay down my weary body on the cool and tender moss 
      Em         D              G      C  G  C 
And I sleep underneath a wooden cross 



verse 3 
    G                      C 
The good shepherd whispers secrets in my ear 
       G                     C 
Like a breeze, holy secrets, only I can hear 
         G                                 C 
When the morning sun comes softly, I’ll be in my own hard bed  
        G                 F            C              G 
But his gentle voice will linger in my soul and in my head  


verse 4 
                                       C 
And I’ll rush into the new day, like a penny candy store 
         G                        C 
Like the greenest adolescent, who doesn’t know the score 
      G                           C 
But I know where to find him when nothing’s going right  
      G                  F                C               G 
Oh, I know that he’ll be there, when I go walking late at night 

 
                                     C                 G 
I go walking late at night, when the world is calm and still 
        Em                 C              G                 C 
And the stars they light a pathway to the top of Shepherd’s Hill 
      G             Bm          C               G 
I lay down my weary body on the cool and tender moss 
      Em         D              G      C 
And I sleep underneath a wooden cross 



Outro 
N.C.                              Bm           C               G 
On Shepherd's Hill I'll rest my body under the cool and tender moss 
         Em        D              G 
I lay me down underneath a wooden cross
