Song For Martin
Ton : CEnglish
C G Bb F C
Couplet
In Red Rock FArizona he Glived for many years alone F
A gangly kid from Colorado who could sing the sweetest Csongs
I first heard Woody's Fsongs from him Gin a cabin in the snow F
Seems like it was yesterday but it was years and years Cago
Couplet
He moved to FArizona in GNineteen Sixty-One F
Got a job at the Indian school he was livin' in the Csun
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
Refrain
Marty I know it got Amlonely out Fthere
AmCoyotes cryin' at midnight in the Ccold desert air
The Emheart that sorrow broke in you Amcan never be Frepaired
EmMart I know I Amlet you down Fsomewhere C
Couplet
I knew that me and FMarty Gwe should have been good friends F
I always knew the paths we walked were meant to cross Cagain
We talked on the Ftelephone Gonce or twice a year F
His voice was so familiar his memory was Cclear
Couplet
I'll never know what Fbrought him to Gwhere he finally stood F
A shotgun pointed at his head in a cabin in the Cwoods
But somehow I could Fhear it it Gstruck my heart as well
For the Funknown man who needs a hand Cfor the friend I'll never know Em
Refrain
Marty I know it got Amlonely out Fthere
AmCoyotes cryin' at midnight in the Ccold desert air
The Emheart that sorrow broke in you can Amnever be Frepaired
EmMart I know I Amlet you down Fsomewhere
Em Am F C
