Artist: The Head And The Heart
Song: Down In The Valley
[Intro]
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 (straight strum) N.C. C
'Cause they both end in trouble and start with a grin
F (straight strum) 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
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)
F Am
One more for the stars and the eyes of the walls
C G
I saw your face, I heard you callin' out
F ............................... Am ............ (build)
C G
I saw your face in the crowd and you came out
F ................... Am ............ (build)
C G
Just like the sun and the moon and the stars at night
F Am
There was a sign on the door and it reads to me
C G
Just like the sun and the moon and the stars at night
F Am C G
Oh -oh -oh -oh (straight strumming)
F Am C G
Oh -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
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 (slow)
C G
These are the places I will always go (slow)
F C
So I wish I was a slave to an age-old trade
Lord have mercy on my rough and rowdy ways
