Judy Collins - Song for martin

In Red Rock, Ari^Fzona, he ^Glived for many years alone ^F A gangly kid from Colorado, who could sing the sweetest ^Csongs I first heard Woody's ^Fsongs from him^G in a cabin in the snow ^F Seems like it was yesterday, but it was years and years ^Cago

He moved to Ari^Fzona in ^GNineteen Sixty-One ^F Got a job at the Indian school, he was livin' in the ^Csun My life was movin' ^Ffast by now,^G I was always on the run ^F My country life was far behind^C and the circus had begun ^Em

Marty, I know it got ^Amlonely out ^Fthere ^AmCoyotes cryin' at midnight in the ^Ccold desert air The ^Emheart that sorrow broke in you^Am can never be re^Fpaired ^EmMart, I know ^AmI let you down^F somewhere ^C

I knew that me and ^FMarty,^G we should have been good friends ^F I always knew the paths we walked, were meant to cross a^Cgain We talked on the ^Ftelephone ^Gonce or twice a year ^F His voice was so familiar, his memory was ^Cclear

I'll never know what ^Fbrought him to ^Gwhere he finally stood ^F A shotgun pointed at his head in a cabin in the ^Cwoods But somehow I could ^Fhear it, it ^Gstruck my heart as well For the ^Funknown man who needs a hand,^C for the friend I'll never know ^Em

Marty, I know it got ^Amlonely out ^Fthere ^AmCoyotes cryin' at midnight in the ^Ccold desert air The ^Emheart that sorrow broke in you can ^Amnever be re^Fpaired ^EmMart, I know ^AmI let you down^F somewhere ^{Em Am F C}
