Valley of the Saints

 

Dbm add e   EM6

Livin’ in the promised land

Dbm add e       EM6

Long after the fall

Dbm add e          EM6

Along the mighty river

Dbm add e                    EM6

‘tween St. Louey and St. Paul

(FRET 5)

Dbm add e                EM6

If you think my life is easy

(FRET 3)

Dbm add e          EM6

I’ll tell you that it ain’t

Dbm add e               EM6

That’s just the way it is

B7                        E

In the valley of the saints

 

Dbm add e                  EM6

There’s times that I am happy

Dbm add e                  EM6

There’s times that I am sad

Dbm add e                   EM6

There’s times that I’m a good man

Dbm add e                EM6

And times when I am bad

(FRET 5)

Dbm add e                 EM6

Some people think I’m crazy

(FRET 3)

Dbm add e              EM6

But I’ll tell you that I ain’t

Dbm add e               EM6

That’s just the way it is

B7                        E

In the valley of the saints

 

Dbm add e          EM6

A million miles of gravel

Dbm add e                 EM6

Criss-cross the countryside

Dbm add e               EM6

A thousand steepled buildings

Dbm add e             EM6

With doors all open wide

(FRET 5)

Dbm add e                        EM6

I’ve been there deep inside them

(FRET 3)

Dbm add e                                 EM6

Seen things that would make you faint

Dbm add e               EM6

That’s just the way it is

B7                        E

In the valley of the saints

 

Dbm add e           EM6

A hundred broken people

Dbm add e             EM6

Bent down on their knees

Dbm add e      EM6

Beggin’ for forgiveness

Dbm add e          EM6

As contrite as can be

(FRET 5)

Dbm add e                  EM6

(FRET 3)

Their burdens now are lifted

Dbm add e      EM6

Am I lyin’, no I ain’t

Dbm add e                     EM6

That’s just the thing that happens

B7                               E

When sinners become saints

 

Dbm add e     EM6

I’ve seen it in Minnesota

Dbm add e       EM6

And in Missouri too

Dbm add e    EM6

And down in Louisianna

Dbm add e       EM6

Back in the ole bayou

(FRET 5)

Dbm add e                  EM6

If you think that you’re excluded

(FRET 3)

Dbm add e             EM6

I’ll tell you that you ain’t

Dbm add e      EM6

Everyone is welcome

B7                        E

In the valley of the saints

 

Dbm add e            EM6

So pack up all your troubles

Dbm add e                   EM6

And bring your worries, too

Dbm add e              EM6

And lay them at the feet of

Dbm add e                EM6

the One who died for you

(FRET 5)

Dbm add e                        EM6

If you think that you’re not worthy

(FRET 3)

Dbm add e             EM6

I’ll tell you that you ain’t

Dbm add e              EM6

That don’t make no difference

B7                        E

In the valley of the saints

(FRET 5)

Dbm add e                        EM6

If you think that you’re not worthy

(FRET 3)

Dbm add e                        EM6

Guess what, both you and I ain’t

Dbm add e          EM6

There’s a river of grace

B7                        E

In the valley of the saints
