Chords

[Verse 1]
Am                                         G
Pulling into Douglas on a hot October night

F 
Dawn up above us, and there's a moon on the right

D
Just off the blacktop, there's a sign along the road

       F              C                G
It's a marker for the place where they got Geronimo
[Pre-Chorus]
F                        D
For peace in the valley, lay down his shield

    C                  G/B       F
And surrendered to the white man hot on his heels
[Chorus]
F
Peace in the valley

D
But oh, Geronimo

Am                                F
You can't raise up your children, watch them grow

        Am                  E7   Am
Without peace in the valley down below
[Verse 2]
Am                            G
He was a bonafide Indian chief

F
East Arizona was his pride and keep

D
Down through the Pecos, they tried to take him down

        F             C           G
'Til an hour from the border, he stopped and turned around
[Pre-Chorus]
          F                      D
He cried "Peace in the valley!", lay down his shield

     C                 G/B       F
And surrendered to the white man hot on his heels
[Chorus 2]
F
Peace in the valley

D
But oh, Geronimo

Am                                 F
You can't raise up your children, watch them grow

         Am                 E7   Am
Without peace in the valley down below

F
Peace in the valley

D
And oh, Geronimo

Am                                F
You can't raise up your children, watch them grow

        Am                  E7   Am
Without peace in the valley down below
