Prayer In Open D Chords & Lyrics - Emmylou Harris

[D]There's a valley of sorrow in my [G]soul
Where every night I hear the thunder [D]roll
Like the sound of a distant [A]gun
Over all the damage I have d[D]one
And the shadows filling up this [G]land
Aew the ones I buildt with my own [D]hand
There is no comfort from the [A]cold
Of this valley of sorrow in my [D]soul
There's a river of darkness in my [G]blood
And thru every vein I feel the [D]flood
There is no bridge for me to c[A]ross
No way to bring back what is [D]lost
Into the night it soon will s[G]weep
Down where all my grievances I [D]keep
But it won't won't wash away the [A]years
Or one single hard and bitter t[D]ear
And the rock of ages I have [A]known

[G]Is a weariness down in the b[D]one
I use to ride it like a rolling [A]stone
Now I just carry it a[D]lone
There's a highway risin from my [G]dreams
Deep in the heart I know it [D]gleams
For I have seen it stretching [A]wide
Clear across to the other [D]side
Beyond the river and the [G]flood
And the valley where for so long I've[D] stood
With the rock of ages in my [A]bones
Someday I know it will lead me [D]home
