Say Valley Maker

	  		



Intro: C 

         C 
With the grace of a corpse 
     Am 
In a riptide, 
      C 
I let go 
      Am 
And I slide, slide, slide 
    C 
Downriver 
        Am 
With an empty case 
      C 
By my side 
    Am 
An empty case 
       C 
That's my crime 
      F 
And I sing (Say, valley maker!) 
             C 
To keep from cursing 
      F 
And I sing (Say, valley maker!) 
             C 
To keep from cursing 
      Am         C 
River old, river end 
      Am         C 
River old, river end 
      Am          C 
River gone, river bend 
F 
Take me to the sweet valley 
                 C 
Where your heart bloom, bloom, blooms 
F 
Take me to the sweet valley 
                    C 
Where your heart is covered with dew

And I never realized... death is what it meant... 
                 C 
to make it on my own 
     F 
Cuz there is no love, 
                  C 
Where there is no obstacle 
     F 
And there is no love 
                  C 
Where there is no bramble 
     F 
And there is no love 
                   C 
On the hacked-away plateau 
     F 
And there is no love 
         C 
In the unerring 
     F (double length) 
And there is no love 
                C 
On the one true path 
        Am (double length)
