C#m  B  E  A
C#m  B  E  A


[Verse 1]
     C#m                      B
Well every time I lay in the bed 
beside you,
E      A
Hosea, Hosea,
C#m                     B        
I hear the sound of the streets 
         E       A
of the city.
C#m                     G#m
My belly growls like a hungry wolf
       F#                     E   
And I let it prowl till my belly's
   A
 full.
                       E    E B E A
Hosea, my heart is a stone.

E E B E A


[Verse 2]
    C#m                      B
So please believe me when I say I'm 
sorry,
E      A
Hosea, Hosea,
C#m            B        E  A
You loveable, gullible man.
   C#m              G#m
I tell you that my love is true
         F#                 E   
Till it fades away like a morning 
   A
dew.
                  E    E   E B E A B
Hosea, just leave me alone.

[Chorus]
G#m                A
Here I am in the Valley of Trouble.
 E                B
Just look at the bed that I've made:
G#m          A            E      B
Badlands as far as I can see.
C#m          B               A
Well there's no one here but me, 
Hosea.


[Verse 3]
         C#m
Well I stumbled and fell in the road
 on the way home,
       A
Hosea, Hosea.
C#m                        B     
I lay in the brick street like a 
      E    A
stray dog.
C#m                    G#m
You came to me like a silver moon
          F#             E    A
With the saddest smile I ever knew.
                  E  E B E A
Hosea carried me home      again.
E  E B E   A     B
Ho-o-o-me again.


[Chorus]
      G#m                  A
You called me out to the Valley of 
Trouble
E                    B
Just to look at the mess that I've 
made,
G#m                     A     
A barren place where nothing can 
    E    B
grow.
G#m               A
One look and my stone heart crumbled
B                    E
It was a valley as green as jade.
G#m                  A
I swear it was the color of hope.
E             B           A
You turned a stone into a rose,
  A       F#    B
Hosea, Hosea

[Verse 4]
   C#m                      B
I sang and I danced like I did as a 
young girl,
E       A
Hosea, Hosea.
C#m                B          E   A
I am a slave and a harlot no more.
C#m                         G#m
You washed me clean like a summer 
rain
         F#                    E  
And you set me free with that ball
       A
 and chain.
                         E         A
Hosea, I threw away the key.
              E    A
I'll never leave.
