The Valley chords by The Wailin Jennys

• Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Intro:
E5 E E5


Verse 1:
    E
I live in the hills
    E           B
You live in the valley
    E            G#m
And all that you know
          C   B      E
Are these blackbirds


Verse 2:
    E
You rise every morning
                     A
Wondering what in the world
A

Will the world bring today
        D
Will it bring you joy
            E
Or will it take it away?


Pre-Chorus:
    B
And every step you take
      E
Is guided by
                A
The love of the light on the land
        E           B
And the blackbird's cry

Chorus:
         F#m G#m        A B
You will walk, you will walk
         F#m          B    E
You will walk in good company


Verse 3:
    E
The valley is dark,
               B
the burgeoning holding
    E         G#m
The stillness obscured
         C  B    E
by their judging


Verse 4:
    E
You walk through the shadows
              A
Uncertain and surely hurting
D               D5
Deserted by the blackbirds
                 E
And the staccato of the staff


Pre-Chorus:
                B
And though you trust the light
                        E
Towards which you wend your way
                   A
Sometimes it feels all that you wanted
         B E   B E
Has been taken away

Chorus:
        F#m G#m         A B
You will walk, you will walk
         A            B    E
You will walk in good company


Pre-Chorus:
           B
I love the best in you
             E       G#m
You love the best in me
            A
Though it's not always easy
     B
The lovely, the lonely

Chorus:
       F#m G#m        A B
We will walk, we will walk
        C#m          B     E
We will walk in good company


Outro:
    A                     B
The shepherd, upright and flowing
    A  E  F#m  B   E
You see
