Key: A minorAm

Verse 1:

A minorAm
Well the docks lie crippled

In the northern towns

The boys have all gone away



Trying to find work down south

Bridge:
D MajorD                   C majorC
And mister I walk in the valley of the shadow
     D MajorD                 C majorC
Woah-oh-oh-Won't someone have mercy on my soul
   B minorBm  G+G   C majorC  B minorBm
On my soul, soul, soul

Chorus:
     E minorEm          D MajorD
Hallowed ground how sad is the sound
   A minorAm               E minorEm
In a valley that once sang out sang proud
     E minorEm              D MajorD
Hallowed ground where the ships run aground
       A minorAm            E minorEm          A minorAm
To die in the harbour in a rust ridden town, town, town, town

Verse 2:
A minorAm
Now I've seen the future
A minorAm
And I've seen the past
A minorAm
And I've seen the lights go down
A minorAm
On this world fading fast

D MajorD                   C majorC
And mister I walk in the valley of the shadow
D MajorD               C majorC
Won't someone have mercy on my soul
   B minorBm  G+G   C majorC  B minorBm
On my soul, soul, soul

     E minorEm          D MajorD
Hallowed ground how sad is the sound
   A minorAm               E minorEm
In a valley that once sang out sang proud
     E minorEm             D MajorD
Hallowed ground where the ships run aground
       A minorAm            E minorEm          A minorAm
To die in the harbour in a rust ridden town, town, town, town

D MajorD                   C majorC
And mister I walk in the valley of the shadow
D MajorD               C majorC
Won't someone have mercy on my soul
   B minorBm  G+G   C majorC  B minorBm
On my soul, soul, soul

Hallowed ground how sad is the sound
   A minorAm               D MajorD
In a valley that once sang out sang proud
     E minorEm             D MajorD
Hallowed groud where the ships run aground
        A minorAm           E minorEm
To die in the harbour in a rust ridden town, town, town, town

A minorAm
Now I've got a wife and a young child
A minorAm
Back home in my house
A minorAm
Oh I've got someone
A minorAm
I've got to take care of somehow
