[Verse 1]
G
There’s a valley of sorrow in my soul
D
Where every night I hear the thunder roll
A7
Like the sound of a distant gun
D
Over all the damage I have done
[Verse 2]
G
And the shadows filling up this land
D
Are the ones I built with my own hand
A7
There is no comfort from the cold
D
Of this valley of sorrow in my soul
[Verse 3]
G
There’s a river of darkness in my blood
D
And through every vein I feel the flood
A7
I can find no bridge for me to cross
D
No way to bring back what is lost
[Verse 4]
G
Into the night it soon will sweep
D
Down where all my grievances I keep
A7
But it won’t wash away the years
D
Or one single hard and bitter tear
[Verse 5]
G
And the rock of ages I have known
D
Is a weariness down in the bone
A7
I used to ride it like a rolling stone
D
Now I just carry it alone
[Verse 6]
G
There’s a highway risin’ from my dreams
D
Deep in the heart I know it gleams
A7
For I have seen it stretching wide
D
Clear across to the other side
[Verse 7]
G
Beyond the river and the flood
D
And the valley where for so long I’ve stood
A7
With the rock of ages in my bones
D
Someday I know it will lead me home.
