Flying Burrito Brothers Sweet Desert Childhood by Gene Parsons

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?

From Flying Again
Columbia Records
