Canyons And Caverns

Canyons and Caverns by Shawn Mullins

Chords:

As you see you play the Barre? chords with open BE- strings. I don?t know if the chords have other name.

it out.

This way to play the song is close to the original.

INTRO:

on a mantle made of oakwood

there's a photograph from my childhood

it was taken in the desert early light

i look a lot like a leprechaun

with a mexican vest and a red hippie hat on

maracas in my left hand, stick in my right

there are canyons there are caverns

there are boarder roadside taverns

i am held captive by the big blue sky above me

she naps with the tv on

i smell the june cut grass from my pappy's lawn

i play alone in the little room upstairs

there are lincoln logs and cookie tins

colored blocks and wars to win

i draw and i dream and beat my drums up there

there are circus lights and maple leaves

there are daffodils and dogwood trees

i am held captive by the big blue sky above me

Between here play the following chords (fingerplay):

now the coffee's strong

and the fruit's all wrong

and my wakeup call's for somebody else

and the tv's hoax and neurosis jokes

always keep my laughing at myself

and i laugh a lot that's what i do

and i learn the things i never knew

and i see canyons i see caverns

i see border roadside taverns

and i am held captive by the big blue sky above me

i am held captive only by the big blue sky

i am held captive by the big blue sky above me
