Verse 1
(D major) (A major) (There'll be peace (D major) in the valley
For (G major) him how we pray (D major) (B minor) (D major) i
was with Red Foley the
Night (A major) he passed (D major) (B minor)
(A major) (D major) away)
We was down in Port Wayne Indiana the
Night the Lord took Red (G major) away
And we had to (D major) get there a little
Early cause (A major) we had a matin (D major) ee
And when Red first went on
stage it seemed
That he moved and talked a little slow (A major)
But of course he went on to
Do his reg (G major) ular great (A major) show (D major)
So soon the afternoon show
was over with and
(G major) We all went down the street and ate (D major)
Red said he wasn't very (B minor) hungry
But he came along (D major) anyway
And we got done eaten and came
(A major) Back to the last show
(D major) But the thing just would be Red's
Very last (G major) well who's (D major) to know (G major)
And when he went on the stage
For his own ten thousandth time (D major)
We was all back to the curtains
There just shootin' the lines
But when he sang Peace
In The Valley
There was such a (A major) quiet still
I know I'll never forget it and
Any (D major) one that was there never will
Well soon the last (G major) show was over with
And I went back to the (D major) hotel
And Red gave me a call
I told him to come on over I
Was just starin' at the four walls
(A major) So he came over to my room
He (D major) was just next door there
Lit (G major) a cigarette and sat down in the chair
And he started talkin'
bout all the worries
(D major) That a country music singer has
I said (G major) old Red I reckon
it's not that bad
He said yeah (D major) you're workin'
a lot now
And you'll have 'em (A major) some day
Your dad had 'em and I have 'em
I (D major) guess it's just meant that way
Then he got up and these were
The (G major) last words he said
(D major) I'm awful tired now Hank and I've
Got to go to bed
And while I layed there with Red
Just a few steps away (A major)
The angels came and (D major) took him
Into the last golden stage
(There'll be peace in the valley
For (G major) him how we pray (D major) i was
with Red Foley the
Night (A major) he passed away)
(D major) (G major)
