The Valley

A                                             E
we were born in the valley of the dead and the wicked
F#m
that our father's father found
             C#m           B
and where we laid him down
A                                              E
we were born in the shadow of the crimes of our fathers
F#m
blood was our inheritance
             C#m           B
no, we did not ask for this


C#m B A  C#m  B
will you lead me?


A                                                     E
we were young when we heard you call our names in the silence
F#m
like a fire in the dark
             C#m            B
like a sword upon our hearts
A                                           B
we came down to the water and we begged for forgiveness
F#m
shadows lurking close behind
                C#m      B
we were fleeing for our lives


C#m B A C#m  B
will you lead me?
