The Valley

E F# B

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

                        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#                         B
You should see the way it glows

                  B
My daddy didn't know me
                      E
My brother rolled the dice
                F#
My mama kept on working
                     B
And my sister paid a price
Darkness did surround me
                     E
Trouble everywhere I turned
                       F#
Then one day I started walking
                       B
Everything I've got, I earned

                        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#                         B
You should see the way it glows

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