The Civil Wars - From This Valley

pretty straight forward song .

capo 3

G

G
oh , the desert dreams of a river
D C
that will run down to the sea
G
like my heart longs for an ocean
D G
to wash down over me .

C G
oh , won’t you take me from this valley
C D
to that mountain high above?
G D
i will pray , pray , pray
Em C
until i see your smiling face .
G D
i will pray , pray , pray
G
to the one i love .

oh , the outcast dreams of acceptance ,
just to find pure love’s embrace
like an orphan longs for his mother .
may you hold me in your grace .

won’t you take me from this valley
to that mountain high above?
i will pray , pray , pray
until i see your smiling face .
i will pray , pray , pray
to the one i love .

oh , the caged bird dreams of a strong wind
that will flow ’neath her wings .
like a voice longs for a melody ,
oh , jesus carry me .

won’t you take me from this valley
to that mountain high above?
i will pray , pray , pray
until i see your smiling face .
i will pray , pray , pray
to the one i love .

i will pray , pray , pray
until i see your smiling face .
i will pray , pray , pray
to the one i love .
