Judy Collins - Grand canyon

Out^Amside my window ^Am/Glies the canyon ^F Red and turquoise, o^Grange and ^Dblue ^Am Wandering through the ^Am/Gpainted desert ^F Like some bewildered ^Gdrunken ^Dfool ^F The Colorado ^Amdeep within her ^FCuts and rolls and ^Amsings and plays ^F Waterfalls and ^Ampurple rainbows ^F In her mists of ^Gsilver ^Dsus4haze ^D

^AmOnce I knew a ^Am/Gman who traveled ^F Down her waters ^Gevery ^Dday ^Am Made his living ^Am/Gguiding strangers ^F Where his shadows ^Gknew the ^Dway ^F On the borders ^Amof the rivеr ^FLit the fires and s^Ammoked thе pipes ^F Told the travelers ^Amall his stories ^F Dared the men to ^Gwin the ^Dsus4prize

^CWhite with foam the water danced ^F Over rocks and under skies ^C Blue with summer, drenched in rain ^F Faster than ^GI rea^Dsus2lized

^Am He was hard a^Am/Gbout his work ^F Soft about the ^Gcolum^Dbines ^Am Spoke about A^Am/Gpache friends ^FMissed the years of ^Gsilver ^Dmines ^F When the west was ^Amfar away ^F Safe from eastern ^Ampeddlers ^F When the canyon ^Amwas his own ^F Far from mind^Gless medd^Dlers

^CIn his arms I often listened ^F Sharing every dream he dreamed ^C A summer lover soon to fly ^F Far from where the ^Gmoonlight ^Dsus4gleamed ^D

^AmI have often ^Am/Gthought of him ^F Riding down the ^Griver's ^Dheart ^Am Living for the ^Am/Gplunging waters ^F Prying myste^Gries a^Dpart ^FIs he still a^Amlive and smiling ^F Through a ha^Amzy waterfall ^F Sometimes I ^Amthink it was madness ^F To have left his ^Glonesome ^Dsus2call To ^Fsail beyond the ^Gcanyon ^Dsus2wall ^FOut to where co^Gyotes ^Dsus2call ^FBack then, when ^GI knew it ^Dsus2all
