           LONESOME VALLEY 2003
         CARLENE CARTER ft. VINCE GILL

CAPO: 3rd FRET

INTRO:
A D A A

VERSE:
       A
Woke to the sound of my baby sister
 A
Crying like the day she was born
     D
`Cause an Angel of mercy
 D
Dressed all in white
     A
Came and said girls
    E       A
`Your momma`s passed on`

VERSE:
   A
So I gathered my children around me
       A
Through our tears we found and prayed
      D
Talked to God and Jesus
   D
And all them guys
     A  A
Who knew momma
   E    A
Was already there


CHORUS:
           A
And the body`s gotta walk
   D    A
That Lonesome Valley
      D   E    A  A
You gotta walk it by yourself

      D
And nobody here
       A   A F#m
Can walk it for you
      A  D   E  A
You gotta walk it by yourself


VERSE:
      A
But Junie never knew a stranger
 A
She was friendly like that
    D
So we stood with our relations
        A            E E A A
And a bunch of strangers dressed in black


VERSE:
    A
Me and Rosie wore bright colors
 A
Momma woulda liked it like that
     D
Oh oh we led and let her momma sing Circle Be
 A          E   A  A
She always said she wanted that


CHORUS:
           A
And the body`s gotta walk
   D    A
That Lonesome Valley
      D   E    A  A
You gotta walk it by yourself

      D
And nobody here
       A   A F#m
Can walk it for you
      A  D   E  A A
You gotta walk it by yourself


BREAK:
F#m     F#m
Life goes by
    D       D
In the blink of an eye
 A                E E
Body`s just a suitcase for your soul

F#m    F#m
When I let
     D     D
My hair down tonight
 A                  E E B B B B
Daughter right there smiling` down on me


VERSE:
   B
Well back home to see my family
    B
`Cause family keeps you strong
   E
But Johnny just cried
    E
`Cause Junie had died
  B     B
He didn`t care
   B B
Carry on


VERSE:
    B
So we led him next to momma
      B
`Neath the rose covered ground
   E
Sang Anchored In Love,
 E
Peace In The Valley
 B      F#    B B
Ohhhhhh, The Sweetest Sound


CHORUS:
           B
And the body`s gotta walk
   E    B
That Lonesome Valley
      E   F#   B  B
You gotta walk it by yourself

      E
And nobody here
       B   B G#m
Can walk it for you

      B  G#m E    B
You gotta walk it by yourself


OUTRO:
    B G#m E    B
Gotta walk it by yourself

    B  E   F# B
Gotta walk it by yourself

B   B E F# B  B E B
