Verse I:
[G]Hard to be a saint in the [Dmin]valley

[G]Summertime is hot as [Dmin]hell
Verse II

[Bmin]Fighting in the street
[G]Now hear come the [Emin]police
[G]Take those bloody boys d[Dmin]owntown

[G]Valley of the f[Dmin]evers
[F]oh, time is drawing[G] near
[G]To join the ghosts of [Dmin]Cherokees
and [F]walk the Trail of [G]Tears
Verse III: (Same chords as before)
Me and Darcy Mae in the alley
Goin' faster than a train
I am not a gentle man
But I do what I can
You and I are not the same
Chorus:
[G]Valley of the f[Dmin]evers
[F]oh, time is drawing [G]near
[G]To join the ghosts of [Dmin]Cherokees

[Emin]The day will come
[Emin]The day will come when all of [C]us
We will pay our debt in[Emin] blood[Amin]

I am ready for the f[Emin]lood[Amin]
