Intro:  D5     D5

D5                                G5
There's a valley of sorrow in my soul 
                                     D5  
Where every night I hear the thunder roll 
                            A5
Like the sound of a distant gun 
                           D5
Over all the damage I have done 
                                G5
And the shadows filling up this land 
                                 D5
Are the ones I built with my own hand 
                             A5
There is no comfort from the cold 
                               D5
Of 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 

D5
And the rock of ages I have known 
Is a weariness down in the bone 
                                A5
I use to ride it like a rolling stone 
                    D5
Now I just carry it alone 

SOLO     D5 D5 D5 D5 D5 D5 D5

There's a highway risin' from my dreams 
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 . . . .
