SOL
It was off the desert road
DO SOL
Fourteen miles up in the canyon I was born
SOL
Where the rocks were piled up high
DO
And when the sun went down
SOL
They looked like big old monsters
DO
You could yell out your whole name
LA7 DO
And the echo would come back crystal clear
SOL
And the silence was so deafening
DO SOL
I could hear it like thunder in my ears
SOL
I still taste the sweet cool water
DO SOL
As it bubbled out to quench the burning sand
And the cottonwoods stood trembling
DO SOL
As the desert wind blew soft across the land
DO
Somewhere far away a coyote
LA7 DO
Called out his mournful ghostly song
SOL
And I knew that very soon
DO SOL
Sweet desert childhood would be gone
DO SIm DO
Can a man ever go back home again?
DO LAm RE DO SOL
Can a man ever live that way again?
SOL
The old windmill made a groan
DO SOL
As it turned around to face the cold of the night
SOL
The proof of all existence
DO SOL
Crackled warm in the flickering firelight
DO
And the stars were so perfect
LA7 DO
That I wondered might this all just be a dream
SOL DO SOL
Could this all-alone place really be as magic as it seems?
DO LAm DO
Can a man ever go back home again?
DO LAm RE SOL
Can a man ever live that way again?
