[Verse]
Am D G | G |
- I used to live in New York City
Am Dm G | G |
- Everything there was dark and dirty
Am Dm G | G |
- Outside my window was a steeple
Am Fm G | G |
- With a clock that always said twelve-thirty
[Chorus]
C G | G |
- Young girls are comin' to the canyon
F Dm G | G |
- And in the mornin's I can see them walkin'
C G | G |
- I can no longer keep my blind drawn
F Fm C | C |
- And I can't keep myself from talkin'
[Verse]
Am D G | G |
- At first, so strange to feel so friendly
Am Dm G | G |
- To say good mornin' and really mean it
Am Dm G | G |
- To feel these changes happenin' in me
Am Fm G | G |
- But not to notice 'til I feel it
[Chorus]
C G | G |
- Young girls are comin' to the canyon
F Dm G | G |
- And in the mornin's I can see them walkin'
C G | G |
- I can no longer keep my blind drawn
F Fm C | C |
- And I can't keep myself from talkin'
[Verse]
Am D G | G |
- Cloudy waters cast no reflection
Am Dm G | G |
- Images of beauty lie there stagnant
Am Dm G | G |
- Vibrations bounce in no direction
Am Fm G | G |
- But lie there shattered into fragments
[Chorus]
C G | G |
- Young girls are comin' to the canyon
(Young girls are comin' to the canyon)
F Dm G | G |
- And in the mornin's I can see them walkin'
(In the mornin I can see them walkin')
C G | G |
- I can no longer keep my blind drawn
(I can no longer keep my blind drawn)
F- And I can't Fmkeep myself from Ctalkin'
[Outro]
(Fade Out)
Note: Using an embellishment at the end of each line (ie: G7, Gsus, etc.) is up to you. A listener can
impose such embellishments on the song, because of the richness of the vocal harmonies and the interplay of
the piano and the bass. But they are not, in my opinion, actually in the guitar part.
Charted by Dexex
Based on the charts that went before.
FYI: My chord charts are not "tabs" (guides to replicating an artist's past performance).
I don't claim any of my charts show the "right" way to play a song. This chord chart represents my personal
interpretation of this song. And as such, it's not something I care to debate. Think of it as a road map
for my own, and maybe for your own, future performances.
If you have another way to play this song, great. Please, post your own chart. We all benefit when someone
contributes.
Cheers! Dexex
