  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?
