Chord Canyon Joe by Joe Purdy

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 youll hear where the chords fit in . enjoy : capo 3rd fret chords used : C : x32010 Em : 022000 F : 133210 G : 320010 Am : x02210 picking pattern varies in intro sometimes : E | - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 3 - - - | B | - - - - - - - 1 - - - - - - - - - - 1 - - - - - - - - - - - - - | G | - - - - - 0 - - - - 0 - - - - - - - 0 - - - 0 - - - 0 - - - - - | D | - - - 2 - - - - - - - - 0p2 - - - 0 - - - - - 0 - - - - - - - | A | - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | G | - 3 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 3 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | verse picking pattern - again there are variations , but the former tab - ster wrote that if you stick to this , you cant go horribly , fatally wrong : C Em F G E | - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | B | - - - - - - - 1 - - - - - - - - - - - - - 0 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 1 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 1 - - - - - - - - - | G | - - - - - 0 - - 0 - - 0 - - - - - - 0 - - - - 0 - - 0 - - - - - - 2 - - - - 2 - - - 2 - - - - - - 0 - - - - - 0 - - - 0 - - - | D | - - - - 2 - 2 - - - 2 - - - - - 2 - - 2 - - - - - 2 - - - - - 3 - - - 3 - - - - 3 - - - - - - 0 - - - 0 - - - - - 0 - - - - - | A | - - 3 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | E | - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 0 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 1 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 3 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | Am F C Am G F E | - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 3 - | B | - - - - - - - 1 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 1 - - - - - - - - - - - - 1 - - - - - - - - 1 - - - - - - - 1 - - - - - - - 2 - - - - - | G | - - - - - 2 - - - 2 - - 2 - - - - - - 2 - - - - 2 - - - 2 - - - - - - - - 0 - - - - - - - - 2 - - - - - - - 0 - - - - - - - 3 - - - | D | - - - - 2 - 2 - - - 2 - - - - - - 3 - - - 3 - - - - 3 - - - - - - 2 - - - - - - - - 2 - - - - - - - 0 - - - - - - - - 3 - - - - - - | A | - - 0 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 3 - - - - - - - - 0 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | E | - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 1 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 3 - - - - - - - - 1 - - - - - - - - | 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
