Chords for Emmylou Harris - Prayer in Open D

[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ There's a valley of sorrow in my soul
[G]
Where every night I [D] hear the thunder roll _
Like the sound of a distant [A] gun
[D] _
_ Over all the damage I have done
And the shadows filling up [G] this land
_ Are the ones I [D] built with my own hands _
_ _ There is no comfort from the [A] call
Of [D] this valley of sorrow in my soul
_ _ There's a river of darkness in [G] my blood
And through every vein I [D] feel the flood
_ _ There is no bridge for me to cross
_ No way to bring back what is lost
_ And through the night it soon [G] will sweep
_ Down where all my [D] riches I'll keep
_ _ But it won't wash away the [A] years
Of [D] one single [A] hurt and [D] bitter tear
And the rock of ages I've known
_ _ [G] [D] Is where it nests down in the bone
_ _ I used to ride it like a rolling stone
[A] _ Now [D] I just carry it along _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ [D] But there's a highway rising from [G] my graves
And deep in the [D] heart I know it gleams
_ _ For I've seen it stretching _ wide
[A] _ [D] Clear on across to the other side
_ In the river and [G] the flood
_ And the valley where for so [D] long I've stood
_ Where the rock of ages and my _ [A] bones
Someday I know it'll [D] lead me _ home
Oh, _ oh, _ _ _ [G] _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ oh, _ [A] _ _ [D] oh, oh _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _
[N] Thank you _ _ _ _ _ _
