The Monument Valley
By: Drive-By Truckers
Album: Brighter Than Creations Dark


INTRO: D MajorD G+G D MajorD G+G

D MajorD
It?s all about where you put the horizon
     G+G
Said the great John Ford to the young man rising
      D MajorD
You got to frame it just right and have some luck of course
    G+G
And it helps to have a tall man ridin' on the horse
D MajorD
Tell them just enough to still leave them some mystery
 G+G
A augmentedA grasp of the ironic nature of history
 A augmentedA
A majorA man turns his back on the comforts of home
  G+G                 D MajorD
The Monument Valley to ride off alone

INTRO

       D MajorD
And when the dust all settles and the story is told
G+G
History is made by the side of the road
    D MajorD
By the men and women that can persevere
  G+G
And rage through the storm, no matter how severe
  A augmentedA
And whether it?s a horse or a car or a train
    G+G
There?s gonna be some fine times and there?s gonna be some pain
    A augmentedA
In the end it?s a silhouette framed by the sun
       G+G                   D MajorD
And just The Monument Valley when the evening comes


INTRO

    A augmentedA
It?s a strong wind blowing on the open range
   G+G
It?s gonna be beautiful and it?s gonna be strange
   A augmentedA
It?s where to plant the camera and when to say action
G+G
When to print the 🏷Legend and when to leave the facts in
A augmentedA
You turn your back on the comforts of home
  G+G                   D MajorD
And wander round The Monument Valley alone
