Valley Far Below - (M.Barker)

Intro: Am/E

Am
It wasn't long before I knew
Em
There must be something more
G
Than livin' life under the gun
Dm
And always keeping score
Am
So I looked across on that mount
Em
Of things I didn't know
G
But I knew I would have to cross

	That valley....

			far below

Am
If I knew then what I know now
Em
I would have stayed behind
G
More questions than are numbered
Dm
Numbed my soul and mind
Am
But still my heart keeps yearnin'
Em
To guide the way to go and
G
It's always leading downward thru
Dm              E   Am
The valley far below

Chorus:

C
I didn't know enough to hear
G
The warnin' on the way
Dm
Lost followers returnin'
Am
And the little things they'd say
C
But now their words return to me
G
When nights are passing slow
Dm
And all too clear they say beware
Dm              G     Am
That valley....far below

Am
But by then it was too late
Em
And I couldn't find an out
G
But I could tell I knew too well
Dm
What this was all about
Am
And the walkin' dead and dyin'
Em
Know more than I can know
G
But no one knows the way out
Dm                   E    Am
Of this valley far below


C
I didn't know enough to hear
G
The warnin' on the way
Dm
Lost followers returnin'
Am
And the little things they'd say
C
But now their words return to me
G
When nights are passing slow
Dm
And all too clear they say beware
Dm            E     Am
That valley far below

Am
Now I ride a timeless sunset
Em
Waiting for the end
G
A way back home,
Dm
Some things I've known
Am
A familiar face or friend
Em
Experience and companions
G
Warn me not to go
Dm
Though I'm lost I still must cross
                E       Am
That valley so far below
So far below
