G   D&F#        Em          Bm
When I close my eyes, so I would not see,
    D         G     D
My Lord did trouble me.
        G          D&F#        Em       Bm
When I let things stand that should not be,
    D         G     D
My Lord did trouble me.
            Bm
Did trouble me,
                  G
With a word or a sign,
        G         D&F#        Em        Bm
With a ring of a bell in the back of my mind.
            Bm
Did trouble me,
             G
Did stir my soul,
        G       D&F#      Em       D
For to make me human, to make me whole.
         G       D&F#        Em       Bm
When I slept too long and I slept too deep,
       G         D&F#    Em      D
Put a worrisome vision into my sleep.
        G     D&F#   Em       Bm
When I held myself away and apart,
         G           D&F#          Em       D
And the tears of my brother didn't move my heart.
            Bm
Did trouble me,
                   G
With a word and a sign,
        G           D&F#        Em          Bm
With a ringing of a bell in the back of my mind.
            Bm
Did trouble me,
             G
Did stir my soul
        G       D&F#      Em      D
For to make me human, to make me whole.
        G        D&F#     Em     Bm
And of this I'm sure, of this I know:
    D          G     D
My Lord will trouble me.

    G      D&F#    Em     Bm
Whatever I do, wherever I go,
    D          G     D
My Lord will trouble me.
         G             D&F#         Em         Bm
In the whisper of the wind, in the rhythm of a song
D              G     D
My Lord will trouble me.
    G              D&F#      Em  Bm
To keep me on the path where I belong,
D              G     D
My Lord will trouble me.
             Bm
Will trouble me,
                  G
With a word or a sign,
          G           D&F#        Em          Bm
With the ringing of a bell in the back of my mind.
             Bm
Will trouble me,
              G
Will stir my soul,
        G       D&F#      Em      Bm
For to make me human, to make me whole.
    G       D&F#      Em      D
To make me human, to make me whole.
