See my tab of the intro to learn how to play that.
down_in_the_valley_intro_ver3_tab.htm) This covers the chord
progression of the rest of the song. Some of the names of the chords diagramed below may
not be 100% correct, but it is how they are played in the song. Call them what you
want, I
couldn't figure out what their technical names were.
Also, hammer on the second fret with the second finger as he plays the C chords at
certain points in the song. You can hear it by listening to the song. I didn't think one
hammer-on warranted an entire tab. If you have any questions or corrections, feel free
to email me.
(I figured most of this out by watching this video

I wish I was a slave to an age-old trade
Like ridin' around on railcars and workin' long days
Lord have mercy on my rough and rowdy ways
Lord have mercy on my rough and rowdy ways
(Repeat Intro Lick)
Call it one drink too many
Call it pride of a man
But it don't make no difference if you sit or you stand
'Cause they both end in trouble and start with a grin
Yeah they both end in trouble and start with a grin
We do it over and over and over a-gain
We do it over and over and over a-gain
Oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh
Oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh
Oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh
I know there's - California - Oklahoma
And all of the places I ain't ever been to but
Down in the valley with
Whiskey rivers
These are the places you will find me hidin'
These are the places I will always go
These are the places I will always go
I am on my way
I am - on my way
I am on my way back to where I started
(Keep repeating these chords)
Oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh
Oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh
(Continue in background)
One more for the stars and the eyes of the walls
I hear your name...
I saw your face in the crowd and you came out
You saw me walkin'...
You got a sign on the door and it reads to me
Just like the grass and the sun and the...
Oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh
Oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh
I am on my way
I am - on my way
I am on my way back to where I started
California - Oklahoma
And all of the places I ain't ever been to but
Down in the valley with
Whiskey rivers
These are the places you will find me hidin'
These are the places I will always go
These are the places I will always go
So I wish I was a slave to an age-old trade
Lord have mercy on my rough and rowdy ways
