Capo 4th
C5
We'd feel much better if we sunk this treasure
A5 G5
And laid our armor down
F5
These precious metals and these captain's letters
C5 G5
They are no use to us now
C5
In the day we struggle with fatigue much greater
A5 G5
Than any offer was
F5
We bow down and worship these bandits and cowboys
C5 G5
Unable to hold their own guns
F5
I know that soldiers are not paid to think
C5 G5 F5
But something is making us sick
C5
Onward and steady
G5
Able and young
F5 G5 C5
In the valley of the low, low sun
In the shade we wander along a highway's shoulder
Into the back of beyond
Burning the daylight into a pastime
That's too wise to come more than once
It's boom boom thunder ain't no sleep coming
Out mining a slippery world
Of snow covered beaches and junkyards of diesel
And bombers named after girls
On bridges of black ice not built for the rush
There's a new kind of beast getting up
That's stranger than fiction
Speaking in tongue
In the valley of the low, low sun
C5 E5
Hold on for the slow turning
F5 G5
Smoke if you've got 'em boys
A5
This is bottom hiding out
A5
Down under the stairs
G5
Tomorrow has come
G5 *
Like it's drunk on the blood
A5 F5
Of the men who have dared to be there
C5 G5 F5 C5 G(Hold)
The earth's still climbing as it keeps on grinding
Its way up around the sun
As cool water crashes down to the masses
Bootlegged and bottled like rum
My dreams are humble, lean as arrows
Streetwise, ready, and fair
As we bum rush the ages tied to the rails
On high seas not fit to be sailed
Whatever we've taken does feel like heaven
But baby, we just look like hell
Act like you mean it where paradise was
In the valley of the low, low sun
Act like you mean it where paradise was
In the valley of the low, low sun
