D (xx0232@1)                              GThere's (320003@1)a valley of sorrow in my soul 
                                     D (xx0232@1)
Where every night I hear the thunder roll 
                            ALike (x02220@1)the sound of a distant gun 
                           DOver (xx0232@1)all the damage I have done 
                                GAnd (320003@1)the shadows filling up this land 
                                 DAre (xx0232@1)the ones I built with my own hand 
                             AThere (x02220@1)is no comfort from the cold 
                               DOf (xx0232@1)this valley of sorrow in my soul

There's a river of darkness in my blood 
And through every vein I feel the flood 
There is no bridge for me to cross 
No way to bring back what is lost 
Into the night it soon will sweep 
Down where all my grievances I keep 
But it won't wash away the years 
Or one single hard and bitter tear

DAnd (xx0232@1)the rock of ages I have known 
Is a weariness down in the bone 
                                AI (x02220@1)use to ride it like a rolling stone 
                    DNow (xx0232@1)I just carry it alone

Deep in the heart I know it gleams 
For I have seen it stretching wide 
Clear on across to the other side 
Beyond the river and the flood 
And the valley where for so long I've stood 
With the rock of ages in my bones 
Someday I know it will lead me home

Oh, oh, oh . . . .
