[Intro]
A C
 
 
[Verse 1]
C EmOh, the hills on the border
C D'Bout this time of the year
C D EmWhen the mists seem to gather
C Bm EmIn the valley of your fears
C EmAnd you walk through that valley
C DAs day turns to night
C D EmIs there something in the shadows
C Bm EmOr the failing of the light?
 
 
[Verse 2]
C EmI was walking home last evening
C DWhen perhaps I should have ran
C D EmFrom a darkening of shadows
C Bm EmIn the shape of a man
C EmIt said, "Talk to me, stranger
C DOr may I call you brother?
C D EmLet us make our way together
C Bm EmFrom this place to another
 
 
[Chorus]
G DI don't carry any weapon
G DI don't carry any staff
C D EmBut I'll carry half your burden
C Bm EmTill your journey's cut in half
G DLet me sharе of your burden
G DThe lifetimе you will carve
C D EmAnd the gravestone that you carry
C Bm Am Bm C D Em D GWill be a burden halved"
 
 
[Instrumental]
Am C D Em D G
 
 
[Verse 3]
C EmHe sat down by the roadside
C DAs the mists they gathered 'round
C D EmTakes some cards from his pocket
C Bm EmThat he spreads upon the ground
C EmHe said, "This card is a woman
C DYou will love but not possess
C D EmAnd this card's a man you'll murder
C Bm EmBut you'll never confess
 
 
[Chorus]
G DI don't carry any weapon
G DI don't carry any staff
C D EmBut I'll carry half your burden
C Bm EmTill your journey's cut in half
G DLet me sharе of your burden
G DThe lifetimе you will carve
C D EmAnd the gravestone that you carry
C Bm Am Bm C D Em D GWill be a burden halved"
 
 
[Instrumental]
Am C D Em D G
 
 
[Verse 4]
D AI said, "Why should I trust you?
D AOr the cards that you have thrown?
G A BmI don't know you from the Devil
G F#m BmAnd this burden is my own"
D AHe said, "I have the gift of secrets
D AFrom our Father, little brother
G A BmLet us make our way together
G F#m EmFrom this world to another"
 
 
[Outro]
C EmOh, the hills on the border
C D'Bout this time of the year
C D EmWhen the mists seem to gather
C Bm EmIn the valley of your fears
C EmAnd you walk through that valley
C DYour coat around your ears
C D EmAs you walk to the borders
C Bm EmFrom the valley of your fears
C D EmAs you walk to the borders
C Bm EmFrom the valley of your fears
C D EmAs you walk to the borders
C Bm EmFrom the valley of your fears
