The Masters Call
Marty Robbins
Key : Eb
Capo
[Verse 1]
---------------------
Cm      D#                          Cm
  When I was but a young man I was wild and full of fire
    D#                               Cm
A youth within my teens, but full of challenge and desire
  D#                             Cm
I ran away from home and left my mother and my dad
D# G#                   A#                  Cm
I know it grieved them so to think their only boy was bad

[Verse 2]
---------------------
  D#                                   Cm
I fell in with an outlaw band, their names were known quite well
    D#                                   Cm
How many times we robbed and plundered, I  could never tell
     D#                            Cm
This kind of sinful living leads only to a fall
D# G#                        A#             Cm
I learned that much and more the night I heard my Master call

[Pre-Chorus (1)]
---------------------
     G#              D#            G#             D#
One night we rustled cattle, a thousand head or so
    G#                 D#              Cm             D#
And started them out on the trail that leads to Mexico
      G#              A#          D#                     A#
But a norther started blowing and lightning flashed about
  D#                  G#            A#                D#
I thought someone was calling me, I thought I heard a shout

[Chorus (1)]
---------------------
       D#                                Gm
Then at that moment lightning struck not twenty yards from me
    G#                                     D#
And left there was a giant cross where once there was a tree
         Cm                               Fm
And this time I knew I heard a voice, a voice so sweet and strange
       D#                              Cm
A voice that came from everywhere, a voice that called my name

[Verse 3]
---------------------
   D#                           Cm
So frightened I was thinking of sinful deeds I'd done
  D#                                 Cm
I failed to see the thousand head of cattle start to run
    D#                          Cm
The cattle they stampeded, were running all around
D# G#           A#                 Cm
My pony ran but stumbled and it threw me to the ground

[Pre-Chorus (2)]
---------------------
  G#               D#         G#                      D#
I felt the end was near, that death would be the price
       G#             D#                   Cm                  D#
When a mighty bolt of lightning showed the face of Jesus Christ
      G#                   A#         D#               A#
And I cried oh Lord forgive me, don't let it happen now
  D#               G#            A#                D#
I want to live for you alone, Oh God these words I vow

[Chorus (2)]
---------------------
   D#                      Gm
My wicked past unfolded, I thought of wasted years
      G#                                D#
When another bolt of lightning killed a hundred head of steers
        Cm                          Fm
And the others rushed on by me and I  was left to live
       D#                        Cm
The Master had a reason, life is his to take or give

[Verse 4]
---------------------
  D#                              Cm
A miracle performed that night, I wasn't meant to die
    D#                                 Cm
The dead ones formed a barricade least six or seven high
    D#                                 Cm
And right behind it there was I, afraid  but safe and sound
D# G#                   A#               Cm
I cried and begged for mercy kneeling there upon the ground

[Outro]
---------------------
  D#                       Cm
A pardon I was granted, my sinful soul set free
   D#                               Cm
No more to fear the angry waves upon  life's stormy sea
   D#                              Cm
Forgiven by the love of God, a love  that will remain
D# G#               A#                   Cm
I gave my life and soul the night the Saviour called my name...
