tabbed by holaimerik The Head and the Heart "Down In The Valley" The Head and the Heart 2011 I've been meaning to tab this song since i figured it out a few weeks ago. bought the album and have been listening like crazy so i just had to get this song down. i figured it was my duty to get it to the masses now. i tabbed this out mostly by ear and by watching their youtube videos. i feel like this is the most accurate way to play the song, granted it may be hard to get the timing right due to the tricky hammer-ons. nonetheless, i am going to tab it out for you all to enjoy! first allow me to tab out some of the music, then i will put the chords along with the words INTRO fingerpicking C5 (x355xx@1) C (x32010@1) Cadd9 (x32030@1) C (x32010@1) F(ish) e--3-------0-----------------0----------------------------------------------| B------1-------1---3---3--------3--1--------1-------1--------1--------1-----| G---------------------------------------2-------0--------2--------0---------| D---------------------------------------------------------------------------| A--3--3-3--3--3-3--3--3-3----3--3--3----3--3-3--3--3-3---3--3-3---3--3-3----| E---------------------------------------------------------------------------| C5 (x355xx@1) C (x32010@1) Cadd9 (x32030@1) C (x32010@1) F(ish) Ce--3-------0-----------------0----------------------------------------------| (x32010@1)B------1-------1---3---3--------3--1--------1-------1-----------------------| G---------------------------------------2-------2--------0--0-0----0-0------| D----------------------------------------------------------------2--2-------| A--3--3-3--3--3-3--3--3-3----3--3--3----3--3-3--3--3-3---3---3--------------| E---------------------------------------------------------------------------| e------------------------------------------------| B------------------------------------------------| G------0-0------0-0-----0-0----------------------| D-------------2--2-----------2-------------------| A---3---3------------3---3-----------------------| E------------------------------------------------| 1st Verse Progession not in time, listen for strumming pattern Fmaj7 (1x3210@1) C/Am7 Fmaj7* Ce-------0---------------0----------------------------------| (x32010@1)B-------1-------1-1-----1---------1-----1------------------| G-------2-------0-0-----0h2-------0-----0------------------| D-------3-------2-2-----3---------0h2---0h2----------------| A-------3-------3p0-----3---------3-----3------------------| E-------1--------------------------------------------------| FIRST VERSE Fmaj7 (1x3210@1) C/Am7 Fmaj7* C (x32010@1) "oh i wish i was a slave to an age old trade" Fmaj7 (1x3210@1) C/Am7 Fmaj7* C (x32010@1) "like ridin' around on rail cars and workin' long days" Fmaj7 (1x3210@1) C/Am7 Fmaj7* C (x32010@1) "lord have mercy on my rough and rowdy ways" [x2] INTRO LICK SECOND VERSE Fmaj7 (1x3210@1) C/Am7 Fmaj7* C (x32010@1) "call it one drink too many, call it pride of a man" Fmaj7 (1x3210@1) C/Am7 Fmaj7* C (x32010@1) "no, it don't make no diff'rence if you sit or you stand" Fmaj7 (1x3210@1) C (x32010@1) "cause they both end in trouble and start with a grin" Fmaj7 (1x3210@1) C (x32010@1) "yeah they both end in trouble and start with a grin" Fmaj7 (1x3210@1) C (x32010@1) Am (x02210@1) C (x32010@1) "We do it over, and over, and over again" [x2] BRIDGE [x3] Fmaj7 (1x3210@1) Am (x02210@1) "Ohh, ohh "Ohh, ohh" C (x32010@1) G6(G (320000@1)with open high Estring) (022100@1) "Ohh, ohh" Fmaj7 (1x3210@1) Am (x02210@1) "I know there's Calfornia, Oklahoma" C (x32010@1) G6 (320000@1) "And all of the places I ain't ever been to but" Fmaj7 (1x3210@1) Am (x02210@1) "Down In the Valley with Whiskey Rivers" C (x32010@1) G6 (320000@1) "these are the places you will find me hiding" Fmaj7 (1x3210@1) Am (x02210@1) "These are the places I will always go" Fmaj7 (1x3210@1) C (x32010@1) "These are the places I will always go" Fmaj7 (1x3210@1) Am (x02210@1) "I am on my way, I am on my way" Fmaj7 (1x3210@1) C (x32010@1) "I am on my way back to where I started" Fmaj7 Am C G6 [instrumental] "Ohh, ohh" "Ohh,oh ohh oh" "Ohh, ohh" (backing vocal) "One more for the stars in the eyes of the walls" "I saw your face, I heard you calling out" "I saw your face in a crowd and you came out" "Just like the sun and the moon and the stars at night" (there are more to the lyrics, this is just what came with the album) "Ohh, ooh" Fmaj7 (1x3210@1) Am (x02210@1) "I am on my way, I am on my way" Fmaj7 (1x3210@1) C (x32010@1) "I am on my way back to where I started" Fmaj7 (1x3210@1) Am (x02210@1) "Calfornia, Oklahoma" C (x32010@1) G6 (320000@1) "And all of the places I ain't ever been to but" Fmaj (133211@1) Am (x02210@1) "Down In the Valley with Whiskey Rivers" C (x32010@1) G6 (320000@1) "these are the places you will find me hiding" Fmaj7 (1x3210@1) Am (x02210@1) "These are the places I will always go" Fmaj7 (1x3210@1) C (x32010@1) "These are the places I will always go" [Break] C (x32010@1) C (x32010@1)Fmaj7 (1x3210@1) C/Am7 Fmaj7 (1x3210@1) C (x32010@1) "oh i wish i was a slave to an age old trade" Fmaj7 (1x3210@1) C/Am7 Fmaj7 (1x3210@1) C (x32010@1) "lord have mercy on my rough and rowdy ways"
