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

So he turned to a stone

Like a pilgrim she traveled

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

And give his seed to her

She would wake in the morning

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

She'll glance for him

Here he comes after midnight

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
