High Noon
by Andrew Peterson
DADGAD tuning  no capo (chord formations at bottom)

           D
High noon in the valley of the shadow
                   D
When the deep of the valley was bright
                    D
When the mouth of the tomb
                   D/F#                    G                 A
Shouted, "Glory, the Groom is alive"
       Bm                          A
So long, you wages of sin
       D                            D/F#    G
Go on, don't you come back again
                  Bm
I've been raised and redeemed
              A
You've lost all your sting
             Em
To the victor of the battle
      D/F#   G                        
At high noon in the valley
              A                 D
In the valley of the shadow

                  D
Now the demons, they danced in the darkness
                  D/C#
When that last ragged breath left his lungs
                  D/B
And they reveled and howled
            D                                               G
At the war that they thought they had won
        A                Bm
But then, in the dark of the grave
         D/F#
The stone rolled away
            G                                    A
In the still of the dawn on the greatest of days

     G              D
 It was high noon in the valley of the shadow
                     D
When the shadows were shot through with light
                      D
When Jesus took in that breath
           D/F#                                  G         A
And shattered all Death with his life
      Bm                          A
So long, you wages of sin
       D                            D/F#   G
Go on, don't you come back again
                  Bm
I've been raised and redeemed
              A
You've lost all your sting
              Em
To the victor of the battle
D/F#   G       
High noon in the valley
             A                   Bm              A
In the valley of the shadow

                          G
Let the people rejoice
                               D          D/C#
Let the heavens resound
                            G
Let the name of Jesus, who sought us
          A                              Bm        A
And freed us forever ring out
                              Bm
All praise to the fighter of the night
          D/F#
Who rides on the light
              G                                   A
Whose gun in the grace of the God of the sky

           D
High noon in the valley of the shadow
                     D
When the shadows were shot through with light
                    D
When the mouth of the tomb
                  D/F#                          G             A
Shouted, "Glory, the Groom is alive"
       Bm                         A
So long, you wages of sin
                D                             D/F#   G
I said go on, don't you come back again
                  Bm
I've been raised and redeemed
         A
All praise to the King
         Em
The victor of the battle
D/F#   G
High noon in the valley
             A                   D
In the valley of the shadow
