Valley Of The Dead Acoustic chords by Nicole Dollanganger

Verse:

G                     C                            G       Em
the ghosts of the palliative care ward have been following me
G                        C                   G               Em
whispering through the clear plastic lining over their dead bodies
G                         C                   G      Em
their diapers and their feces still on the hospital sheets
G                          C                         G           Em
they're dead but they're still up walking around and they say to me


Chorus:

                   G
"death is pretty sweet"
Em             C            G
we're in the valley of the dead
Em        C             G      Em          C        G
cremated bodies in the air and the rotten ones underneath
Em                    C
where we harvest the food we eat
Em                 G              Em             G
I'm not scared of death because death's all over me

Verse:

                       C                   G        Em
I've been spending my time hanging out in hospital wards
G                      C                  G          Em
bringing flowers and love letters to my quadriplegic baby
G                 C                    G         Em
the ache of his colostomy bag and his blood transfusions
G                     C                    G                Em
his medication makes him so sleepy but he still whispers to me



Chorus:

                   G
"death is pretty sweet"
Em             C            G
we're in the valley of the dead
Em              C             G          Em             C        G
bodies turn to liquid in the heat, the particles crawl into our pores
     Em                 C
and they soak into our wooden floors
Em                 G              Em             G
I'm not scared of death because death's all over me
Em                 G              Em             G
