Chords for Peter Rowan Bluegrass Band - Righteous Pathway & Goodbye Old Pal (Merlefest 2015)

_ [G] I _ [D] want to send this [Em] tune out to Tex Logan.
How many people here know of Tex Logan?
Yes, [G] Tex Logan, the West Texas fiddler.
He wrote Christmas Times a-Coming that
Bill Monroe recorded and he's been a good friend of mine through many years.
He's put [C] up with a lot from me, I can tell you.
That's what a good friend will
do.
[E] I think he's still my friend.
He is.
And I [G] love Tex and I just want to send
this out to him.
He's _ [E] a _ little bit older now and he could use our
energy, all of our energy, but just send it out to him.
Just think of Tex and I
[D] wanted to say this on behalf of [Gm] Tex, one of his favorite things.
The Lord is my
shepherd, I shall not want.
_ [D] He leadeth me to lie [D#] down in green pastures, [A] he
restoreth my [D] soul.

_ _ _ _ _ _ In our church house Sunday _ morning, _ there sat [E] a man [Am] unwelcome _ [A] there.
_ _ Judged by men and not by Jesus, _ _ he _ [E] lifted up his [A] voice in prayer.
_ _ _ _ Steer me on the righteous pathway, _ _ help _ [E] me humbly [A] to abide. _
_ _ [D] Hold me to your [A] precious _ bosom.
And let _ [E] me walk Lord by [Am] your _ [A] side.
_ _ _ _ [B] _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Oh _ several silent moments followed.
_ _ _ It seemed like [E] no one [A] was in the room. _ _
And then a voice that roared like thunder, _ _ saying wait [E] for me I'll be coming [A] _ soon. _ _ _
Steer me on the righteous pathway, _ _ help me [E] humbly to [A] _ abide.
_ _ _ [D] Hold me to your precious _ _ bosom.
And let [E] me walk Lord by your [Am] _ [A] side. _ _ _ _ _

[Em] _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Oh such a change I never _ witnessed. _ _
For tear-filled eyes were plainly shown.
[F#m] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ Gathered there around that stranger, _ oh say can [E] God bless you, welcome home. _
_ _ _ _ Steer me on the righteous pathway, _ _ _ help me humbly to [A] _ abide. _
[Bm] _ _ [D] Hold me to your [Am] precious _ [A] bosom.
_ And let _ [Em] me walk Lord [A] by _ _ _ _ _ [G] your _ _ _
[F#] _ [Am] _ side.

a long about a roundabout time [E] in Texas where [B] I'd wagered. _
_ I left a friend in a house [C#] boys laid him down [F#] to rest.
_ _ [B] I weeped and moaned over his [E] grave to me boys it [B] was sad.
I knew down [B] beneath that mound was the best town I ever had. _ _ _ _

_ my best pal my old faithful [E] horse now he's [B] gone to _ rest.
I laid him down beneath that [C#] mound in Texas [F#] where I'd wept.
_ [B] Where cactus bloomed over his [E] grave and the [B] coyotes cried.
[E] I know he [B] sleeps in perfect [F#] peace beneath the [B] Texas sky. _ _
