[Intro]
A C
[Verse 1]
C Em
Oh, the hills on the border
C D
'Bout this time of the year
C D Em
When the mists seem to gather
C Bm Em
In the valley of your fears
C Em
And you walk through that valley
C D
As day turns to night
C D Em
Is there something in the shadows
C Bm Em
Or the failing of the light?
[Verse 2]
C Em
I was walking home last evening
C D
When perhaps I should have ran
C D Em
From a darkening of shadows
C Bm Em
In the shape of a man
C Em
It said, "Talk to me, stranger
C D
Or may I call you brother?
C D Em
Let us make our way together
C Bm Em
From this place to another
[Chorus]
G D
I don't carry any weapon
G D
I don't carry any staff
C D Em
But I'll carry half your burden
C Bm Em
Till your journey's cut in half
G D
Let me shar? of your burden
G D
The lifetim? you will carve
C D Em
And the gravestone that you carry
C Bm Am Bm C D Em D G
Will be a burden halved"
[Instrumental]
Am C D Em D G
[Verse 3]
C Em
He sat down by the roadside
C D
As the mists they gathered 'round
C D Em
Takes some cards from his pocket
C Bm Em
That he spreads upon the ground
C Em
He said, "This card is a woman

C D
You will love but not possess
C D Em
And this card's a man you'll murder
C Bm Em
But you'll never confess
[Chorus]
G D
I don't carry any weapon
G D
I don't carry any staff
C D Em
But I'll carry half your burden
C Bm Em
Till your journey's cut in half
G D
Let me shar? of your burden
G D
The lifetim? you will carve
C D Em
And the gravestone that you carry
C Bm Am Bm C D Em D G
Will be a burden halved"
[Instrumental]
Am C D Em D G
[Verse 4]
D A
I said, "Why should I trust you?
D A
Or the cards that you have thrown?
G A Bm
I don't know you from the Devil
G F#m Bm
And this burden is my own"
D A
He said, "I have the gift of secrets
D A
From our Father, little brother
G A Bm
Let us make our way together
G F#m Em
From this world to another"
[Outro]
C Em
Oh, the hills on the border
C D
'Bout this time of the year
C D Em
When the mists seem to gather
C Bm Em
In the valley of your fears
C Em
And you walk through that valley
C D
Your coat around your ears
C D Em
As you walk to the borders
C Bm Em
From the valley of your fears
C D Em
As you walk to the borders
C Bm Em
From the valley of your fears
C D Em
As you walk to the borders
C Bm Em
From the valley of your fears
