[Verse 1]
Am Am/G Outside my window lies the canyon F G D Red and turquoise, orange and blue Am Am/G Wandering through the painted desert F G D Like some bewildered drunken fool F Am The Colorado deep within her F Am Cuts and rolls and sings and plays F Am Waterfalls and purple rainbows F G Dsus4 D In her mists of silver haze
[Verse 2]
Am Am/G Once I knew a man who traveled F G D Down her waters every day Am Am/G Made his living guiding strangers F G D Where his shadows knew the way F Am On the borders of the rivеr F Am Lit the fires and smoked thе pipes F Am Told the travelers all his stories F G Dsus4 Dared the men to win the prize
[Chorus 1]
C White with foam the water danced F Over rocks and under skies C Blue with summer, drenched in rain F G Dsus2 Faster than I realized
[Verse 3]
Am Am/G He was hard about his work F G D Soft about the columbines Am Am/G Spoke about Apache friends F G D Missed the years of silver mines F Am When the west was far away F Am Safe from eastern peddlers F Am When the canyon was his own F G D Far from mindless meddlers
[Chorus 2]
C In his arms I often listened F Sharing every dream he dreamed C A summer lover soon to fly F G Dsus4 D Far from where the moonlight gleamed
[Verse 4]
Am Am/G I have often thought of him F G D Riding down the river's heart Am Am/G Living for the plunging waters F G D Prying mysteries apart F Am Is he still alive and smiling F Am Through a hazy waterfall F Am Sometimes I think it was madness F G Dsus2 To have left his lonesome call F G Dsus2 To sail beyond the canyon wall F G Dsus2 Out to where coyotes call F G Dsus2 Back then, when I knew it all
