I'm in my [A] watershed.
[E] I'm in my [C#] watershed.
[A] I'm in my [C#] watershed.
I hope that you'll [F#] bring this on me, Lord.
And I hope that Ken is mightier than any sword.
I hope [A#m] that you don't take it slow.
[D#] I hope my country [F#] claims it's own.
Yes, [E] I do.
[B] In the valley I walk.
It's a cry, a [F#] stand that I call.

In the valley.
