[INTRO:] G
[VERSE 1:]
Bm I have been down in the valley of tears C Am I have stood on the highest peak C Am For the best part of a week D Bm Battered and bruised I had pulled myself through C Am Every scene I would never repeat
[VERSE 2:]
G Bm I have hung out with the beasts of the field C Am And with them I've spent many long nights C Am Got in some awful bad fights D Bm I came unstuck I was down on my luck C Am And I'm still getting over the bites
[VERSE 3:]
G Am B7 Sounds of my own heart breaking C Not to mention my mind A "Nothing can hurt me" D A A small voice said into a mike, "Take a hike" G A7 No one will lead me astray anymore D G You are welcome to try if you like A Em Welcome to try if you like
[VERSE 4:]
G Bm I had been down in the valley so long C Am I had almost run out of respect C Am Got in right up to my neck D Bm Battered but wise to the truth and the lies C Am That no layman would ever accept
[VERSE 5:]
G Bm Reaching for all of the good things in life C Am Can provide some surprises, I guess C Am It may be the way we are dressed D Bm These threads that you see mean so little to me C Am They don't count when they put us to rest
[VERSE 6:]
G Am B7 Late about dusk, I would start to feel C One more day had been lost A D Nothing I'd say ever seemed to convey A How I felt with that I have dealt G A7 All of my children are healthy and sane D G They may say anything that they like A Em Say anything that they like
[VERSE 7:]
G Bm Sitting alone in the Blue Ridge Saloon C Am Is no place for an angel to be C Am Ladies make faces at me D Bm Battered but clean, I had pulled my machine C Am Off the road, I was too tired to see
[VERSE 8:]
G Bm Wearing a smile like the rim of a cup C Am I will get down to my final point C Am There is no one left to anoint D Bm And the sowing of seed, was it good, yes indeed C Am It thrills me, but only to a point
[VERSE 9:]
G Am Use your imagination B7 C Try every trick in the book A D My mother said with the life that I led A I'd be broke, holy smoke G A7 All of my children are healthy and sane D G They may say anything that they like A Em Say anything that they like G A7 If they want to preach and are not within reach Bm G They may say anything that they like A Em G Say anything that they like
