My grandfather went down with the Montevideo

Rising sun sent him floating to his rest

And his wife fled south to Sydney seeking out safe harbour

C a D F

A north shore matron she became with some paying guests

C F

My father went down with the curse of big cities

C F

Traffic tolls and deadlines took him to his peace

C a D F

Now Bob Dyer glued us to our seats and lawns were always victa neat

Whilst menzies fawned at royal feet

In the valley I walk, who will take me there.

In the valley I walk, oh rough justice I hear you talk

In the valley I walk to meet my water shed, to meet my water shed

I hope virtue brings its own reward

And I hope the pen is mightier than any sword

I hope the kids will take it slow

E G Bb F G F

I hope my country claims its own, yes I do

C F C F a

In the valley I walk, I cried, yes I cried, I was down then I crawled

Mercy's arms all around me when I was down there

C F a C F a

In the valley I walk, do you read me they can hear me
