Eyes Of A Painter
Ton : GCapo 3English
Intro
Bm C D G
Couplet
Grey-haired and flint-eyed his GsunCburned Gface lined
CGrandpa was a Gman of few Dwords
GHe had a way Gof Cnot Gwanting to say
Any Fmore than he Emthought would be Dheard
The Glong years Gof Cliving day Gto day giving
Had Ccarved out a Gmap on his Amface
With Glittle to Close he'd Glearned how to Cchoose
And his Gchoices were Deasy to Gtrace
Refrain
He had the Deyes of a painter C
Heart of a maker of Gsongs
His Bmwords fell like rain on the Cdry desert plain D
Precious and so quickly Ggone
Couplet
From a long line of Gteachers Cwhite GBaptist preachers
He was Cborn with an GIndian Dwill
His Gquiet Gdark Ceyes Greading the light
As he Frode in the Emlow Osage Dhills
His Gschool was the Gprairie the CSage the Gwild berry
The CQuail the Gwide open Amsky
The GCottonwood Cthicket by the Gslow rolling Criver
The GRedbud and the Dhot cattle Gdrive
Refrain
He had the Deyes of a painter C
Heart of a maker of Gsongs
His Bmwords fell like rain on the Cdry desert plain D
Precious and so quickly Ggone
Bm C D G
Couplet
There were days filled with Gthinking Cnights Gwith the drinking
For a Clost love that Graged like a Dstorm
Ah but Ghow his eyes smiled Gwhen he Ctalked Gto a Fchild
The rough hands so Emgentle and Dwarm
His Gstrong arms were brown Gwhere Cthe long sleeves Grolled down
On his Cfaded Gblue cotton Amshirt
When Gtimes got Chard he'd go Gout in the Cyard
And he'd Gcuss away Dsome of his Ghurt
Refrain
He had the Deyes of a painter C
Heart of a maker of Gsongs
His Bmwords fell like rain on the Cdry desert plain D
Precious and so quickly Ggone
Couplet
Now the garden's grown Gdusty Cthe hand-Gaxe lies rusty
The Cdoor's banging Ghard in the Dwind
GGrandpa's store is Gclosed Cdown Glike Fmost of the town
And it won't be Emopen Dagain
And a Gbig Gwhite car Csits Gout in the yard
Of the Chouse he built Gsolid and Amtrue
Ah but I Gsee his Ceyes Gburning Ctonight
Like the Gstars in the Dsky he once Gknew
Refrain
He had the Deyes of a painter C
Heart of a maker of Gsongs
His Bmwords fell like rain on the Cdry desert plain D
Precious and so quickly Ggone
His Bmwords fell like rain on the Cdry desert plain D
Precious and so quickly Ggone
