Here is a poem that my lady sent down
G Bb F
Some morning while I was away
C G/B C F/A
Wrote on the back of a leaf that she found
G Bb F Bb F
Somewhere around Monterey
C G/B C F/A
And here is the key to a house far away
G Bb F
Where I used to live as a child
C G/B C F/A
They tore down the building when I moved away
G Bb F Bb F
And left the key unreconciled
Am F
And down in the canyon the smoke starts to rise
Am F
It rides on the wind 'til it reaches your eyes
Am Am7 F
When faced with the past the strongest man cries - Cries
Am F
And down in the canyon the smoke starts to rise
Am F
It rides on the wind 'til it reaches your eyes
Am Am7 F
When faced with the past the strongest man cries - Cries
C G/B C F/A
And here is a sunrise to set on your sill
G Bb F
The ghosts of the dawn moving near
C G/B C F/A
They pass through your sorrow and leave you quite still
G Bb F Bb F
Sitting among souvenirs
