Chords for Vision Of The Valley - Don Francisco

[N] _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Dm] Vision came unbidden _ at [C] an _ unexpected pass
Where the [Gm] winds of change blew colder
[D] Whip and snow that cut like [A] glass
But like an [Dm] old man in regret
For foolish [C] sins and wasted youth _
_ The scene that [G] lay before me
Had no [A] beauty save its truth
[Dm] _
_ _ _ _ [Bb] For the wind came down the mountains
Never slow and never [D] still
_ [C] And the sheep were scattered shepherdless
_ _ [Dm] Alone across the hills
They [Bb] were prey to every beast that roamed
And [D] entrapped by every curse
[Dm] _ And they [C] stumbled in their sickness
_ In their [A] weakness and their [Dm] thirst _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Dm] Below them in the valley _
The [C] polluted waters flowed
Where [Gm] the shepherds that were harling
Sat and [Dm] argued what was [A] owed
The [Dm] ambitious and abusive bragged
And they [C] boasted on their might _
And their profits [Gm] from the slaughter
[A] Of the ones who could not [Dm] fight
_ _ _ _ [Bb] And the wind just kept on howling
_ _ [Dm] Cried, O Lord, how long
Will your [C] people be the victims
Of the [Dm] ruthless, proud and strong
And [Bb] at once there came an answer
In [Dm] the quiet of my soul
_ [C] The time has come for judgment
_ _ [A] _ _
_ And for [Dm] good hope
_ _ _ For my heart is still a shepherd's heart
I know [C] each one by name
_ _ The ragged [Gm] and the beautiful
_ The [Dm] healthy and the [A] lame
_ _ [Dm] And I myself will lead them out
And I'll [C] feed them on the best
_ _ [Gm] In pastures by still waters
In a [A] place of [Dm] peace and rest _ _ _ _
Oh, [Bb] but woe unto the shepherds
Who [Dm] abused my sheep and killed
_ [C] With harshness and _ severity
_ [Dm] You've bent them to your will
And [Bb] today I am against you
As I [Dm] take them from your hand
When [C] the fire of judgment comes _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ Stubble will not [Dm] _ stand _ _ _
_ _ [Gm] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _ _
And [Gm] darkness filled the valley _
And [Dm] I saw it take up form
Screaming [C] winds and fire and lightning _
More [Dm] than any earthly storm _
Where [Gm] it passed for no survivors _
For the [Dm] land was cleansed and bare
But [C] the streams flowed clear and _ purified
_ [A] _ _ And the grass grew [Dm] green and fair _ _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [A] I _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Dm] saw a man come walking
And his heart [C] glowed like a flame _
All [G] the sheep began to run to him
He [Dm] called each one by [A] name _
_ _ [F] He spoke to them in gentle words
He [C] soothed their fearful minds
And [Gm] he healed the brokenhearted _
And [A] the crippled, sick [Dm] and blind
_ _ [Bb] And many others like him
All with [Dm] hearts that glowed the same
And [C] before I had noticed
From [Dm] the farms and fields they came
They [Bb] weren't famous, wise or noble _
But they [C] spoke a common [F] word _
A [Gm] word the flock could recognize
_ [A] And follow when [Dm] they heard
_ _ _ _ _ _ They led them in green pastures
By still [C] waters in the light
_ Standing [Gm] guard against the wolves
And other creatures of the [A] night
_ _ [Dm] Going out into the mountains
_ In the [C] darkness and the cold
_ Bringing [Gm] back the lost and wounded
_ To the [A] safety of the [Dm] foe _ _ _ _ _
And [Bb] the news went out around the world
In [Dm] every street and town _
_ [C] That something wonderful was here
_ [Dm] That heaven had come down
_ _ [Bb] Millions gave their hearts in trust
[C] That long had been [F] betrayed _
And [Gm] the bride at last was ready _
And [A] the trumpet call was [Dm] _
made
_ _ _ And the [Bb] news went out around the world
[F] In every street and town
_ _ That [C] something wonderful was here
[Dm] That heaven had come down
_ [Bb] And millions gave their hearts in trust
[C] That long had been betrayed
[F] _ And the [Gm] bride at last was ready
_ _ [C] _ _ _
And the trumpet call was [Dm] made
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Cm] _ _ _ _ _
[Gm] _ _ _ _ _ [Dm] And the news _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ [Dm] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _
_ _ [A] went _ [Dm] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ out around the world
And the trumpet call was made
And the news went out around the world _ _ _
