VERSE 1:
|F#m . . . |E
Down here in the valley
. . . |D . .
Every shadow you see
. |C#. . .|A
Has its own story
. . . |E
Down here in the valley
. . . |D . .
Every puddle of mud
. |C# . .
Comes from tears and blood
. |F#m . . . |D . .
And it's so hard just to get warm
. |E . . . |C# . . .|
That the chill turns into despair
CHORUS:
| C#m . . . |A . .
Will you lift me up with tender care?
. | E . . . | A
Will you wash me clean in the palm of
. . . |
your hands?
| C#m . . .|A . .
Will you hold me close so I can thrive?
. | E . . . |A
When you touch me, that's when I know
. . .|
I'm alive
VERSE 2:
|F#m . . . |E
Down here in the valley
. . .|D . .
Nothing's able to grow
. | C#. . .|
'Cause the light's to low
|F#m . . . |
Folks spend their days
|E . . .| D . .
Digging 'round for diamonds and gold
. | C# . .
'Til they just get old
. |F#m . . . |D . .
And they don't know anything else
. |E . . . |C#. .
They don't know they're breathing bad air
. |F#m . . . | D . .
But I'm tired of living like this
. |E . . . |C# . . . |
And my soul cries out, "If you're there..."
CHORUS
BRIDGE
|F#m . . . |D. . .|
Call me up to your side
|E . . . |C# . . .|
Draw me up to your light
|F#m . . .|
Let it blind me
|D . . .|
Lord, refine me
| E . . . | C# . . .|
Refine me out of my mind
CHORUS 3x (end on A)

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official NEWSBOYS tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
