        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?
[Versetto]
      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
[Ritornello]
        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 sharе of your burden 
    G                 D 
The lifetimе 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"

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
[Ritornello]
        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 sharе of your burden 
    G                 D 
The lifetimе 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"

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"

        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
