Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][F][G][Am]
[F]

[Verse 1]
Out[Am]side
my window lies the canyon
[F]Red and turquoise, ora[G]nge and blu[D]e
[Am]Wandering through the pain[G]ted desert
[F]Like some bewildered [G]drunken [D]fool

[Verse 2]
[F]The Colorado dee[Am]p within her
[F]Cuts and rolls and [Am]sings and plays
[F]Waterfalls and pur[Am]ple rainbows[F]
In her mist of [G]sil[D]ver haze

[Verse 3]
[Am]Once I knew a [G]man [Am]who traveled
[F]Down her waters e[G]very day[D]
[Am]Made his living guid[G]ing stra[F]ngers
Where his shad[G]ows knew [D]the way

[Verse 4]
[F]On the borders o[Am]f the rivers
[F]Lit the fires and [Am]smoked the pipes
[F]Told the travellers a[Am]ll his stories
[F]Dared them all to win[G] the pri[D]ze
[C]White with

[Verse 5]
foam, the water danced
[F]Over rocks and under skies
[C]Blue with summer, drenched in rain
[F]Faster than I r[G]ealized[D]

[Verse 6]
[D][G]
[Am]He was hard ab[G]out his work
[F]Soft about the col[G]umbines[D]
[Am]Spoke about Apac[G]he friends
[F]Missed the years of [G]silver [D]mines
[F]When the west was

[Verse 7]
[Am]far away
[F]Safe from eastern ped[Am]dlers
[F]When the canyon was[Am] his own
[F]Far from mindles[G]s med[D]dlers
[C]In his arms, I often listened
[F]Sharing every dream he dreamed
[C]A summer lover soon to [G]fly
[F]Far from where the[G] moonlig[D]ht gleamed

[Verse 8]
[Am]I have often thought of him
[F]Riding down the riv[G]er's hea[D]rt[Am]
Living for [G]the plunging waters
[F]Prying mysteries[G] apa[D]rt

[Verse 9]
[F]Is he still [Am]alive and smil[F]ing
Through a hazy water[Am]fall?
[F]Sometimes I [Am]think it was madness
[F]To have left his lon[G]esome cal[D]l
To [F]sail beyond the [G]canyon [D]wall
[F]Out to where [G]coyotes [D]call
[F]Back then, when [G]I knew
it [D]all
