Say Valley Maker Lyrics
by Smog
Tune Half-step down (just makes it easier, but you kinda dont have to)
Chord patterns:
Strummed Chords: (when you see them, you know to strum instead of pick as above)
Intro: C
With the grace of a corpse
In a riptide,
I let go
And I slide, slide, slide
Downriver
With an empty case
By my side
An empty case
That's my crime
And I sing (Say, valley maker!)
To keep from cursing
And I sing (Say, valley maker!)
To keep from cursing
River old, river end
River old, river end
River gone, river bend
Take me to the sweet valley
Where your heart bloom, bloom, blooms
Take me to the sweet valley
Where your heart is covered with dew
(2 extra measures of C)
And when the river dries
C (double length)
Will ya bury me in wood?
And where the river dries
C (double length) C+
Will ya bury me in stone?
Am (3x length)
And I never realized... death is what it meant...
to make it on my own
Cuz there is no love,
Where there is no obstacle
And there is no love
Where there is no bramble
And there is no love
On the hacked-away plateau
And there is no love
In the unerring
F (double length)
And there is no love
On the one true path
Am (double length)
Well, I cantered out here,
Now I'm galloping back
So bury me in wood, and I will splinter
Bury me in stone, and I will quake
Bury me in water, and I will geyser
Bury me in fire, and I'm gonna phoenix
I'm gonna phoenix
C/G Dm/A (repeat ad nauseum and end on C/G)
