Intro:  D     Dsus4

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
Are the ones I built with my own hand 
                             A
There is no comfort from the cold 
                               D
Of this valley of sorrow in my soul 


D                                 G
There's a river of darkness in my blood 
                                  D
And through 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 wash away the years
                              D 
Or one single hard and bitter tear 

D
And the rock of ages I have known 
Is a weariness down in the bone 
                                A
I use to ride it like a rolling stone 
                    D
Now I just carry it alone

D                                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 on 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
