Flying Burrito Brothers Sweet Desert Childhood by Gene Parsons
G It was off the desert road CG Fourteen miles up in the canyon I was born G Where the rocks were piled up high C And when the sun went down G They looked like big old monsters C You could yell out your whole name A7C And the echo would come back crystal clear G And the silence was so deafening CG I could hear it like thunder in my ears G I still taste the sweet cool water CG As it bubbled out to quench the burning sand
And the cottonwoods stood trembling CG As the desert wind blew soft across the land C Somewhere far away a coyote A7C Called out his mournful ghostly song G And I knew that very soon CG Sweet desert childhood would be gone CBmC Can a man ever go back home again? CAmDCG Can a man ever live that way again? G The old windmill made a groan CG As it turned around to face the cold of the night G The proof of all existence CG Crackled warm in the flickering firelight C And the stars were so perfect A7C That I wondered might this all just be a dream GCG Could this all-alone place really be as magic as it seems? CAmC Can a man ever go back home again? CAmDG Can a man ever live that way again?
