Blitzen Trapper - Valley of death

I k^Amnow what it means to get knoc^Dked down drunk, I w^Amas lying in a bush by the coal^D, where the r^Amiver runs deep & the de^Gmons don't sleep & the wa^Dter's obscured by the smoke. Well I d^Amrug myself to the r^Diver's edge & I dran^Amk like a dog on the ^Dsand. It b^Amurned my tongue, my whole h^Gead gets spun & I s^Dtood on the stone & I s^Dpoke to the wind and the rain.

Said I k^Amnow what it means to get l^Deft for dead, when the s^Amaints rise up at the sound.^D When the s^Ampirits don't move in their ch^Gains and the shoes & the cra^Dck of the guns all around. I k^Amnow how it is to get ^Dall dressed up, where no^Ambody would know where to go^D. With a f^Amifth in your vest, & some pil^Gls on your tongue & a gu^Dn looking out across the Valley of the Shadow below, oh.

Well I p^Amreached to the bums and I pr^Deached to the birds til the ^Amcrowd had started to form.^D My dis^Amciples that came, through the w^Gind and the rain & the ra^Dgs in their jackets all torn. Well I p^Amrophesized of the t^Dhings to come & I jump^Amed like a bug on a wall^D, til my h^Amead it was through with the r^Giver's strange brew & I sun^Dk to my knees, in the breeze, & I started to pray, ^Am I said hey! ^D You know I a^Amin't got a dang thing to ^Dsay, with a h^Amead full of booze and no^Gthing to loose for a cr^Deature was made out of clay, hey!
