Song For Martin
Ton : CEnglish
C G Bb F C
In Red Rock ArizFona he lGived for many years alone F
A gangly kid from Colorado who could sing the sweetest sCongs
I first heard Woody's sFongs from him Gin a cabin in the snow F
Seems like it was yesterday but it was years and years aCgo
He moved to ArizFona in NGineteen Sixty-One F
Got a job at the Indian school he was livin' in the sCun
My life was movin' fFast by now GI was always on the run F
My country life was far behind Cand the circus had begun Em
Marty I know it got lAmonely out tFhere
CAmoyotes cryin' at midnight in the cCold desert air
The hEmeart that sorrow broke in you Amcan never be repFaired
MEmart I know IAm let you down Fsomewhere C
I knew that me and MFarty Gwe should have been good friends F
I always knew the paths we walked were meant to cross agCain
We talked on the tFelephone oGnce or twice a year F
His voice was so familiar his memory was cClear
I'll never know what bFrought him to wGhere he finally stood F
A shotgun pointed at his head in a cabin in the wCoods
But somehow I could hFear it it sGtruck my heart as well
For the uFnknown man who needs a hand Cfor the friend I'll never know Em
Marty I know it got lAmonely out tFhere
CAmoyotes cryin' at midnight in the cCold desert air
The hEmeart that sorrow broke in you can nAmever be repFaired
MEmart I know IAm let you down Fsomewhere Em Am F C
