^^^^^ is this one called F2?
My gr[C]andfather went down with the Mo[F]ntevideo
Rising s[C]un sent him floating[F] to his rest
And his w[C]ife fled south to S[A]ydney seeking o[D]ut safe harbour[F]
A n[C]orth shore matron she beca[A]me with some p[D]aying guests[F]
My f[C]ather went down with the c[F]urse of big cities
Traffic to[C]lls and deadlines took him [F]to his peace
Now [C]Bob Dyer glued us [A]to our seats and l[D]awns were always v[F]icta neat
Whilst[C] menzies fawned at r[A]oyal feet

I'm sure you remember, do you remember
[C]In the v[F]alley I w[C]alk, in the v[F]alley I w[A]alk[G]
[C]In the v[F]alley I w[C]alk[A], w[Bb]ho will t[F]ake me t[C]here
[C]In the v[F]alley I w[G]alk, cold co[C]mfort I can h[F]ear you talk
[C]In the v[F]alley I w[A]alk, w[Bb]ho will t[F]ake me th[G]ere.
(play intro part)
When my m[C]other went down it was a st[F]iff arm from hades
Life surpr[C]ises and tears you like the s[F]outherly
She always [C]welcomed the s[A]trange, always w[D]elcomed the strange[F]r

I don't see too many around like this, oh no not many like this
Chorus: ...I t[Bb]ook some c[F]omfort t[G]here
[C]In the v[F]alley I w[G]alk,[C] oh rough justice I h[F]ear you talk
[C]In the v[F]alley I w[A]alk to m[Bb]eet my w[F]ater s[G]hed, to m[Bb]eet my w[F]ater s[G]hed
I m[Bb]eet my w[F]ater s[D]hed
I hope virtue br[G]ings its own reward
And [D]I hope the pen is mightier than [G]any sword
[D]I hope the kids will t[B]ake it slow
[E]I hope my country cl[G]aims its own, yes I [Bb]do[F] [G] [F]
[C]In the v[F]alley I w[C]alk, I cried, yes I cried, I was d[F]own then I cr[A]awled
[C]Mercy's a[F]rms [A]all around me w[Bb]hen I w[F]as down t[G]here
[C]In the va[F]lley I w[A]alk, [C]do you read me t[F]hey can h[A]ear me
