She gave so much that only love remains
Her lover is long gone
With the money she sent on
Now she wanders thirteen valleys crying out

A broken heart needs someone new to blame it on

Break
G   C  D (slide up the C)

Thirteen valleys lying silent in the haze
Filled with promises and spirits that we raise
But the spirits all are ghosts
Of the ones we hurt the most
And they wander thirteen valleys crying out
And they wander thirteen valleys crying

It could have been me, It could have been me
A broken heart needs someone new to blame it on
A broken heart needs someone new to blame it on
Sing agayn
It could have been me, It could have been me
A broken heart needs someone new to blame it on
A broken heart needs someone new to blame it on

My first ever tab ! Hope you enjoy.
Cheers, Brian.
