In the Shadow of the Valley of Death, Music and Lyrics by Marilyn Manson

The strumming structure of this song remains the same throughout, and each
measure has the exact same rhythm as the one before it, so I'll only write
out the rhythm for the first measure.

The only measure that's different is the Gmaj at the end of each verse, which is just
the chord immediately dampened

Lyrics:

(Intro 2X)

Aadd9      Am
We have no future
Aadd9                   Am
Heaven wasn't made for me
Gmaj                 Aadd9-Am (Same rhythm as above, just switch chords in the middle)
We burn ourselves to Hell
G-Maj             Aadd9-Am
As fast as it can be
Cmaj        Gmaj         Fmaj (2 measures)
I wish that I could be a king
Cmaj                Gmaj
Then I'd know that I am not alone

(Intro 1X)

(Second verse same chords as the first)

Maggots put on shirts
And sell eachother shit
Sometimes I feel so worthless
Sometimes I feel discarded
I wish that I was good enough
Then I'd know that I am not alone

(Intro 1X)

(After that, it's an Am chord for the rest of the song, same rhythm, while the
bass plays over it)

Death is Policemen,
Death is a Priest,
Death is a Stereo,
Death is TV

Death is the Tarot,
Death is an Angel,
Death is a God,
Killing yourself

She put the seeds in me,
Plant this dying tree
She's a burning string,
And I'm just the ashes

She put the seeds in me (Fade out)
Plant this dying tree
She's a burning string,
And I'm just the ashes

She put . . .
