Well, celebrating all kinds [E] of old friends tonight.
This is an old [F#] friend.

Wish I could say it was my first guitar because it would make a great story, but [F] it's my second.
[D] I sold my first one to buy this one.
It was more than I could afford.
It was $185.
But I took this guitar out of the closet to write this song.
[D]
There's a rally of sorrow in my soul
Where every night I hear the thunder roll
Like the sound of a distant [A] gun
Or all the damage I [D] have done
And the shadows filling up this land
Are the [B] ones I built with [D] my own hands
There is no comfort [A] from the cold
Of this valley of sorrow in my soul
There's a river of darkness in [D] my blood
And through every [G] vein I feel the flood
There is no bridge for me to [A] cross
No way to bring back what is [D]
lost
Into the night it soon will [G] sweep
Down where all my grievances I keep
But it won't wash away the [A]
years
Or one single heart in bitter tears
And the rock of ages I know
[G] Is the weariness down in the [D] bone
I used to ride it like a [A] rolling stone
Now I just carry it [D] along
[G]
[D]
[A]
But there's a highway rising from [G] my dreams
Deep in the heart I know it gleams
For I have seen it [A] stretching wide
Clear on across to the other [D]
side
Beyond the river and the [G] flood
And the valley where for so long I stood
With a rock of ages in [A] my bones
Someday I know it'll lead me [D] home
[G]
[D] Oh, oh, [G] oh, oh
