Chords for Shepherd Me, O God By Marty Haugen

[F] I wrote this up at Holden Village when our family was there for a year.
And in the wintertime they have all this snow, eight or nine feet of snow,
and every night they have [G] vespers.
[N] And _ there's nothing to do afterwards.
Everyone stays around and critiques evening prayer.
It's that congregation that sticks around.
So this is a setting I wrote and [Abm] they critiqued it.
I did about three or four settings, and this one got the least criticism. _ _ _
