Valley Far Below
(M.Barker)
Intro: Am/E
Am
It wasn't long before I knew
Em
There must be something more
G
Than livin' life under the gun
Dm
And always keeping score
Am
So I looked across on that mount
Em
Of things I didn't know
G
But I knew I would have to cross
That valley....

far below
(Same as 1)
If I knew then what I know now
I would have stayed behind
More questions than are numbered
Numbed my soul and mind
But still my heart keeps yearnin'
To guide the way to go and
It's always leading downward thru
The valley far below
Chorus:
C
I didn't know enough to hear
G
The warnin' on the way
Dm
Lost followers returnin'
Am
And the little things they'd say
C
But now their words return to me
G
When nights are passing slow
Dm
And all too clear they say beware
That valley ......(see tab above) so far below
But by then it was too late
And I couldn't find an out
But I could tell I knew too well
What this was all about
And the walkin' dead and dyin'
Know more than I can know
But no one knows the way out
Of this valley far below
I didn't know enough to hear
The warnin' on the way
Lost followers returnin'
And the little things they'd say
But now their words return to me
When nights are passing slow
And all too clear they say beware
That valley far below
Now I ride a timeless sunset
Waiting for the end
A way back home, Some things I've known
A familiar face or friend
Experience and companions
Warn me not to go
Though I'm lost I still must cross
That valley so far below
So far below
