Prayer In Open D by Emmylou Harris

Intro:  D     Dsus4

D                                G
There's a valley of sorrow in my soul 
                                     D  
Where every night I hear the thunder roll 
                            A
Like the sound of a distant gun 
                           D
Over all the damage I have done 
                                G
And the shadows filling up this land 
                                 D
Are the ones I built with my own hand 
                             A
There is no comfort from the cold 
                               D
Of this valley of sorrow in my soul 


There's a river of darkness in my blood 
And through every vein I feel the flood 
There is no bridge for me to cross 
No way to bring back what is lost 
Into the night it soon will sweep 
Down where all my grievances I keep 
But it won't wash away the years 
Or one single hard and bitter tear 

D
And the rock of ages I have known 
Is a weariness down in the bone 
                                A
I use to ride it like a rolling stone 
                    D
Now I just carry it alone 

SOLO     D Dsus4 D D5 D D5 D

There's a highway risin' from my dreams 
Deep in the heart I know it gleams 
For I have seen it stretching wide 
Clear on across to the other side 
Beyond the river and the flood 
And the valley where for so long I've stood 
With the rock of ages in my bones 
Someday I know it will lead me home 

Oh, oh, oh . . . .
