Flying Burrito Brothers - Sweet Desert Childhood

G

It was off the desert road

         C                            G

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

        A7                            C

And the echo would come back crystal clear

         G

And the silence was so deafening

        C                          G

I could hear it like thunder in my ears

G

I still taste the sweet cool water

      C                                 G

As it bubbled out to quench the burning sand



And the cottonwoods stood trembling

       C                                 G

As the desert wind blew soft across the land

          C

Somewhere far away a coyote

A7                              C

Called out his mournful ghostly song

      G

And I knew that very soon

C                               G

Sweet desert childhood would be gone

      C  Bm             C

Can a man ever go back home again?

      C        Am             D       C    G

Can a man ever live that way again?

G

The old windmill made a groan

      C                                     G

As it turned around to face the cold of the night

G

The proof of all existence

         C                          G

Crackled warm in the flickering firelight

        C

And the stars were so perfect

        A7                               C

That I wondered might this all just be a dream

           G                      C                 G

Could this all-alone place really be as magic as it seems?

C              Am            C

Can a man ever go back home again?

C              Am            D           G

Can a man ever live that way again?
