Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
This is a copy/paste job, since the last one lacked the full lyrics! All glory and
honor to the first tabs-ter! I just love the song and like to sing along as I
play! Thanks for doing all the work!
The chords somehow get moved to the right - dunno how or why this happens, but I
tried to put them back into place. Follow the flow of the song and you´ll hear
where the chords fit in.
Enjoy :)

After each verse play the intro again and back to the verse.
Intro: G
Verse:
C Em
Well I live in the canyon where the old coyotes howl
F G
They come down from the mountains and the dogs begin to growl
Am F
And they meet up in the darkness, and they fight until the death
C Am G F
When the morning sun is rising I will bury who is left
G Am
Oh-------- Oh
F C G
They call me Canyon Joe
C Em
And I stay in the cabin Where I work my hands to bleed
F G
Swing the hammer to the nail And I swing the axe onto the tree
Am F
And I once cleared these woods Yeah there used to be a path
C Am G F
And now the trees have overgrown just to prove that nothing lasts
G Am
And oh-----oh,
F C G
they call me Canyon Joe
C Em
The old man went crazy He lives high up on the ridge
F G
He used to tell me all the stories of the church house and the bridge
Am F
But the bridge, she washed away your sin The church house- it got burned
C Am G F
'Cause this world has gone angry and some people never learn
G Am
And oh-----oh,
F C G
they call me Canyon Joe
C Em
And I once loved a woman Yes and Georgia was her name
F G
We met out in the foothills of the Ozark Mountain Range
Am F
We saw the world together Least the parts that we love most
C Am G F
She still comes to me in dreams I am still haunted with her ghost
G Am
And oh-----oh,
F C G
they call me Canyon Joe
C Em
And all my thoughts are heavy My beard, it has grown long
F G
And I search the face of six-strings for an old familiar song
Am F
But the chords, they all sound foreign like the places that I've been
C Am G F
So I close my eyes to sleep Tomorrow I will try again
G Am F C G
And oh, they call me Canyon Joe
Oh, oh, they call me Canyon Joe
Singing oh, oh, they call me Canyon Joe
honor to the first tabs-ter! I just love the song and like to sing along as I
play! Thanks for doing all the work!
