Emmylou Harris – Prayer In Open D (Guitar)

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 

                                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
