The Valley Chords by Charley Crockett

[Start]

[Verse]
E F# B                          
■ ■  ■ I'm from San Benito Texas
             E         
Down a dirty dusty road
                    F#7       
There was sugarcane and cotton
                    B      
How I used to watch it grow
                 B        
Then we moved up to Dallas
B7              E        
■  I remember I was young
                F#7       
I learned about the dollar
                          B    
Looked down the barrel of a gun


[Chorus]
                    E        
If you ask me where I'm going
                         B         
I can't tell ya 'cause I don't know
                     E         
But in my mind I see the valley
F# F#7                    B        E F#7
■  You should see the way it glows ■ ■  


[Verse]
B                        
■ My daddy didn't know me
                  E       
My brother rolled the dice
             F#7       
My mama kept on working
                   B      
And my sister paid a price
             B          
Darkness did surround me
                   E       
Trouble everywhere I turned


[Chorus]
               F#7             C#m7
Then one day I started walking ■   
F#7                     B       
■   Everything I've got I earned
B7                     E        
■  If you ask me where I'm going
                         B         
I can't tell ya 'cause I don't know
                     E         
But in my mind I see the valley
F#7                        B7       B
■   You should see the way it glows ■


[Outro]
             B       
Now you know my story
                       E     
I bet you got one like it too
                      F#        
May your curse become a blessing
                         B     E F#7 B
There ain't nothing else to do ■ ■   ■
