Canyons and Caverns by Shawn Mullins
Chords:
       E(022100)   Esus4(033300)    B(799600)    A(577600)   F#(244300)
       C#m ( 446654 )	   ASUS2 ( 002200 )
As you see you play the Barre? chords with open BE- strings. I don?t know if the chords have other name.
It?s a little bit difficult to play the E and ESUS4 chords like Shawn do. Listen to the song and you 
it out.
This way to play the song is close to the original.
INTRO:
Play  E/   ESUS4  B  
 E/ESUS4  
on a mantle made of oakwood
 E/ESUS4  
there's a photograph from my childhood
Eit was Btaken in the desert early light
 E/ESUS4  
i look a lot like a leprechaun
 E/ESUS4  
with a mexican vest and a red hippie hat on
maracas in my Bleft hand, stick in Dmy rBight
        	E  		     F#  	  D   E/ESUS4  
there are canyons there are caverns
there are bEoarder F#roadDside tavBerns
                C#m       B            ASUS2     E   E/    ESUS4  B  
i am held captive by the big blue sky above me
 E/ESUS4  
she naps with the tv on
 E/ESUS4  
i smell the june cut grass from my pappy's lawn
 E/                      ESUS4  B  
i play alone in the little room upstairs
 E/ESUS4  
there are lincoln logs and cookie tins
 E/ESUS4  
colored blocks and wars to win
 E/                       ESUS4                B     D  B  
i draw and i dream and beat my drums up there
                E               F#             D   E/ESUS4  
there are circus lights and maple leaves
Ethere are daffodF#ils and dogwood DtreeBs
i am held captC#mive by Bthe ASUS2big blue sky abEove me
Between here play the following chords (fingerplay):
EADGBE		EADGBE		EADGBE
4xx400		5xx400		7xx800   2X   and play  Bat last
 E/ESUS4  
now the coffee's strong
 E/ESUS4  
and the fruit's all wrong
 E/			 ESUS4  B  
and my wakeup call's for somebody else
 E/ESUS4  
and the tv's hoax and neurosis jokes
always keep my laBughing at myself
and i lDaugh a lot that's what i Bdo
and i lDearn the things i never Bknew
             E             F#     D   E/ESUS4  
and i see canyons i see caverns
i see Eborder rF#oadside tavDernsB  
and i am held C#mcaptive bBy the ASUS2big blue sky aEbove me
i aEm held captiBve only by the ASUS2big blue skEy
