Canyon Joe Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[A]Wel[D]l I[A] li[D]ve in the canyon
[F#m]Where the old coyotes howl
And they come [G]down from the mountains
when the dog[A]s begin to growl
And [Bm]they meet up in the darkness
where [G]they fight until the death
[D]When the morning sun is [Bm]rising I
will [A]bury who [G]they left

[Verse 2]
[A]And oh, [Bm]they call [G]me Canyon
[D]Joe
[A][D][A]

[Verse 3]
[D]And I stay in the cabin
Where I work [F#m]my hands to bleed
Swing [G]the hammer to the nail
And I [A]swing the axe onto the tree
And [Bm]I once cleared these
woods
[G]Yeah there used to be a path
[D]And now the trees hav[Bm]e overgrown
just to [A]prove that nothing [G]lasts

[Verse 4]
An[A]d oh, [Bm]they call [G]me
Canyon [D]Joe
[A][D]

[Verse 5]
[A]
The [D]old man went crazy
He lives [F#m]high up on the ridge
He used [G]to tell me all the stories of
the church [A]house and the bridge
But [Bm]the bridge,
she washed away your sin
The church [G]house- it got burned
'Cause [D]this world has gone [Bm]angry
[A]and some people never learn

[Verse 6]
[G]And [A]oh,[Bm] they cal[G]l me
Canyon [D]Joe
[A][D]

[Verse 7]
[A]
And [D]I once loved a woman
Yes and Geor[F#m]gia was her name
We [G]met out in the foothills of the
Oz[A]ark Mountain Range
[Bm]We saw the world together
Least the [G]parts that we love most
She still [D]comes to me in dreams
[Bm]I am still haunt[A]ed with her ghost

[Verse 8]
[G]And [A]oh,[Bm] they cal[G]l me Canyon
[D]Joe
[A][D][A][D][A][D]

[Verse 9]
[A]
And [D]all my thoughts are heavy
My [F#m]beard, it has grown long
[G]And I search the face of six-strings
for for an [A]old familiar song
But [Bm]the chords, they all sound foreign
like [G]the places that I've been
So I [D]close my eyes to sleep
[Bm]Tomorrow I wil[A]l try again

[Verse 10]
[G]And [A]oh, [Bm]they call [G]me Canyon Joe
[D]Oh, oh, [A]the[Bm]y call[G]
me Canyon [D]Joe
Singing [A]oh, oh, [Bm]they call [G]me
[D]Canyon Joe

[Outro 1]
