I'll try to oblige (though I don't know the first thing about chords):
G D D G
I asked the master builder, why did he make John Muir
Bm A G A
From the seed of a man so hard and unforgiving?
G D D G
A father who tried to use the Gospel to ensure
Bm G A A
That his son's life would never be worth living
Bm Bm A A
And the Lord's voice whispered on the High Sierra wind
Bm A7 G Bm Bm
From the mountains where the clear waters lie
G D G D
Saying, Hold the bravest heart above the gravest of sins
G D A A
And I'll show you how to make a hero rise
Chorus:
D G D D G D
Leave Calvin and the Bible to the parish o' Dunbar
F#m Bm D A
Give a blind man back his eyes to find the brightest o' the stars
D Bm G G
Then lead him to the altar of a better God by far
G G A A A
In the vale of the redwood cathedral
Middle section:
Bm Bm A A
And as I stand by the thunder of the roaring mountain falls
Bm G Bm Bm
And hear California call you saviour
G D G D
I cannot help but wonder, had a different fortune called
G G A
Would you have done the same for Scotland the Brave
A A7 A7
Your home and your father's?
Last verse:
G D G G
God lives above the redwoods, so men say
Bm A G A
Looking down straight and true at the best of all his treasures
G D G G
And if a man should stand among them to pray
Bm G A A
It's against them the Lord will take his measure
Great song!
