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