Down In The Valley

F               C           Am            C        C
I wish I was a slave to an age-old trade
F               C           Am            C             C
Like ridin' around on railcars and workin' long days
F                           C                  C
Lord have mercy on my rough and rowdy ways
F                      C                       C
Lord have mercy on my rough and rowdy ways

[Intro Again]


[Verse]

F                       C
Call it one drink too many
Am                              C       C
Call it pride of a man
F                       C                       Am          C
But it don't make no difference if you sit or you stand
F                       N.C.                             C
'Cause they both end in trouble and start with a grin
F                     N.C.                           C
Yeah they both end in trouble and start with a grin


[Pre-Chorus]

F                  C                    Am      C
We do it over and over and over again
F                   C                Am     C
We do it over and over and over again

F       Am      C       G
Oh      -oh     -oh     -oh (slow) (straight strumming)
F       Am      C
Oh      -oh     -oh     -oh  (build)
F       Am      C       G
Oh      -oh     -oh     -oh


F                                    Am
I know there's California, Oklahoma
C                                   G
And all of the places I ain't ever been to but

[Chorus]

F
Down in the valley with
Am
Whiskey rivers
C                               G
These are the places you will find me hidin'
F                               Am
These are the places I will always go (not slow)
F                               C
These are the places I will always go (not slow)

F
I am on my way (slow)
Am
I am on my way (slow)
F                               C
I am on my way back to where I started


[Bridge]

F       Am      C       G (build)

F       Am      C       G
Oh      -oh     -oh     -oh (straight strumming)

F       Am      C       G
Oh      -oh     -oh     -oh  (build) (continued in the background)


F                                               Am
One more for the stars and the eyes of the walls

C                              G
I hail your face, and then I saw you standing out

F ............................... Am ............ (build)

C                         G
I saw your face in the crowd and you came out

F ................... Am ............ (build)

C                           G
You saw me crossing the valley and you came in

F                          Am
There was a sign on the door and it reads to me

C                                       G
Just like the grass and the sign when you walked in


F       Am      C       G
Oh      -oh     -oh     -oh (straight strumming)


F       Am      C       G
Oh      -oh     -oh


F
I am on my way (slow)
Am
I am on my way (slow)

F                               C
I am on my way back to where I started

F                Am
California, Oklahoma
C                                   G
And all of the places I ain't ever been to but


[Chorus]

F
Down in the valley with
Am
Whiskey rivers
C                               G
These are the places you will find me hidin'
F                               Am
These are the places I will always go (slow)
F                               C
These are the places I will always go (slow)
F                                       C
So I wish I was a slave to an age-old trade
F                                       C
Lord have mercy on my rough and rowdy ways
