A                         E
When I left the valley of sadness
A                         E
When I left the valley of sadness
D         C#m
I saw the mountains
              D
Of the plains around
             E
Gathering to cry

C
I saw a young bride in a white dress
Picking up stones along the way
I saw children climbing the path
                    A
Naked in the sun of May
E                   A
And I saw the river flowing
Oooooh
And I heard the tulips crying
Oooooh

They left the mountains and the plains around

This is why it cries

C
They wanted to see the head town
They have been told the life is easier
First steps made arose in the ground
                            A
From the grounds and up the river
E                      A
When I heard the river flowing
Oooooh 
and I saw the furrows bleeding
Oooooh
