C majorC           G+G       D MajorD     G+G
They were down by the river on that Lincoln County shore
C majorC          G+G       D MajorD      G+G
Singing Peace In The Valley and preaching up a storm

G+G
There was a crowd gathered down by the river

Where me and Benny Thompson used to play
C majorC
I wondered if they had enough a water
             G+G
To wash old Lester Harper's sins away
    D MajorD               G+G
Cause I heard Miss Ida whisper he's too lost to save

G+G
Well they would sing and it would rain and it was frightening

Some things are hard to understand when you're eight
C majorC
I can still hear the thunder and see the lightning
                G+G
When Preacher Hayes raised his hands to pray
    D MajorD             G+G
I could feel my body tremble cause I was so afraid

C majorC             G+G       D MajorD      G+G
Yeah they were down by the river on that Lincoln County shore
C majorC          G+G      D MajorD      G+G
Singing Peace In The Valley and preaching up a storm


Instrumental:

G+G
I was there but I could barely hear the sermon

I was scared and didn't care to get up close
C majorC
I heard him tell 'em something was a burning
                G+G
And then he shouted something about a ghost
       D MajorD
And when they walked down in the water
           G+G
Sister Harper hollered please don't let him go

C majorC             G+G       D MajorD      G+G
Well they were down by the river on that Lincoln County shore
C majorC          G+G     D MajorD       G+G
Singing Peace In The Valley and preaching up a storm

C majorC           G+G       D MajorD      G+G
They were down by the river on that Lincoln County shore
C majorC          G+G      D MajorD       G+G
Singing Peace In The Valley and preaching up a storm

C majorC           G+G       D MajorD      G+G
They were down by the river on that Lincoln County shore
 C majorC         G+G      D MajorD       G+G
Singing Peace In The Valley and preaching up a storm
