Thirteen valleys he has wandered for her love
       Em                C               D
For he thinks he is the one she dreams of
        Am
But her bed was made elsewhere

From the first day she got there

A broken heart needs someone new to blame it on


Thirteen valleys she has gone since moring came
She gave so much that only love remains
Her lover is long gone
With the money she sent on
Now she wanders thirteen valleys crying out

It could have been me, It could have been me
A broken heart needs someone new to blame it on
A broken heart needs someone new to blame it on
Bridge

Break
G   C  D (slide up the C)

Thirteen valleys lying silent in the haze
Filled with promises and spirits that we raise
But the spirits all are ghosts
Of the ones we hurt the most
And they wander thirteen valleys crying out
And they wander thirteen valleys crying

It could have been me, It could have been me
A broken heart needs someone new to blame it on
A broken heart needs someone new to blame it on
Sing agayn
It could have been me, It could have been me
A broken heart needs someone new to blame it on
A broken heart needs someone new to blame it on

My first ever tab ! Hope you enjoy.
Cheers, Brian.
