From "Ladies of the Canyon" [Intro] Dm C Am G Gadd9 G [Verse 1]
C                     Am
  The lady called the blue boy, "Love"

G                  Gadd9 G
  She took him home

C              Am
  Made himself an idol, yes

F
So he turned to a stone

                   Dm
Like a pilgrim she traveled

             E
To place her flowers

Am                 G
Before his granite grace

        Bb               Dm7
And she prayed aloud for love

                 G   Gadd9 G
To awaken in his face

       Dm C  Am  G       Gadd9 G
In his face, oh__________
[Verse 2]
C                  Am
  Sometimes in the evening

         G          Gadd9 G
He would read to her

C                 Am
  Roll her in his arms

         F
And give his seed to her

                      Dm
She would wake in the morning

                E
Without him and go to the window

    Am                G
And look out thru the pain

        Bb            Dm7
But the statue in her garden

                     G    Gadd9 G
He always looked the same

              Dm C  Am  G       Gadd9 G
He looked the same, oh__________
[Verse 3]
C                    Am
  Bring her boots of leather

             G            Gadd9 G
And she will dance for him

C              Am
  Shyly from a feather fan

F
She'll glance for him

                    Dm
Here he comes after midnight

             E
To find her again

Am                 G
He will come a few times more

        Bb           Dm7
Till he finds a lady statue

              G   Gadd9 G
Standing in a door

       Dm C  Am  G       Gadd9 G
In her door, oh_________
[Outro] Gadd9 G Gadd9 G
