[Intro]
C#dim7 F#7 Bm7 F G/B C Bm D Em C Bm Em C Bm
[Verse 1]
Em
Long lonely sound
C G
Like a distant wolf or hound
A G C
With the slowness of the wind inside the canyon
Em
I gazed upon the night
C G
Without loneliness or fright
A7 G C
It was fine to have a woman by my side
[Chorus]
C#dim7 F#7 Bm7 F
And that was ten_____ years behind me
G/B C Bm G/A Am G/B C
Oh, behind me the child became a man
C#dim7 F#7 Bm7 F
Ten_____ years behind me
G/B C Am D Em C Bm Em C D
And it reminds me of what I don't have now
[Verse 2]
Em
Heat of the day
C G
When those flies got in our way
A G C
With the burning of the leaves upon the hillside
Em
But I was so young
C G
Short of breath, clean of lung
A7 G C
There's a first time for everything that's done
[Chorus]
C#dim7 F#7 Bm7 F
And that was ten_____ years behind me
G/B C Bm G/A Am G/B C
Oh, behind me the child became a man
C#dim7 F#7 Bm7 F
Ten_____ years behind me
G/B C Am D Em C Bm Em C D
And it reminds me of what I don't have now
[Verse 3]
Em
So far away
C G
As the earth's concerned today
A G C G D
So the winter spreads the morning on the canyon
Em
I gazed upon the sight
C G
Without loneliness or fright
A7 G C
It was fine to have a woman by my side
A7 G C
It was fine to have a woman by my side
