Emmylou Harris

^D There's a valley of sorrow in my ^G soul
Where every night I hear the thunder ^D roll
Like the sound of a distant ^A gun
Over all the damage I have d ^D one
And the shadows filling up this ^G land
Aew the ones I buildt with my own ^D hand
There is no comfort from the ^A cold
Of this valley of sorrow in my ^D soul
There's a river of darkness in my ^G blood
And thru every vein I feel the ^D flood
There is no bridge for me to c ^A ross
No way to bring back what is ^D lost
Into the night it soon will s ^G weep
Down where all my grievances I ^D keep
But it won't won't wash away the ^A years
Or one single hard and bitter t ^D ear
And the rock of ages I have known
^G Is a weariness down in the b ^D one
I use to ride it like a rolling ^A stone
Now I just carry it a ^D lone
There's a highway risin from my ^G dreams
Deep in the heart I know it ^D gleams
For I have seen it stretching ^A wide
Clear across to the other ^D side
Beyond the river and the ^G flood
And the valley where for so long I've ^D stood
With the rock of ages in my ^A bones
Someday I know it will lead me ^D home
