Song For Martin

C   G   Bb   F   C

                F        G                           F
In Red Rock, Arizona, he lived for many years alone
                                                        C
A gangly kid from Colorado, who could sing the sweetest songs
                      F             G                        F
I first heard Woody's songs from him in a cabin in the snow
                                                        C
Seems like it was yesterday, but it was years and years ago

               F       G                   F
He moved to Arizona in Nineteen Sixty-One
                                                     C
Got a job at the Indian school, he was livin' in the sun
                   F           G                         F
My life was movin' fast by now, I was always on the run
                              C                           Em
My country life was far behind and the circus had begun

                     Am         F
Marty, I know it got lonely out there
Am                                C
Coyotes cryin' at midnight in the cold desert air
    Em                            Am              F
The heart that sorrow broke in you can never be repaired
Em           Am            F           C
Mart, I know I let you down somewhere

                   F     G                                  F
I knew that me and Marty, we should have been good friends
                                                        C
I always knew the paths we walked, were meant to cross again
                 F         G                      F
We talked on the telephone once or twice a year
                                          C
His voice was so familiar, his memory was clear

                     F              G                        F
I'll never know what brought him to where he finally stood
                                                C
A shotgun pointed at his head in a cabin in the woods
                    F           G
But somehow I could hear it, it struck my heart as well
        F                            C                                Em
For the unknown man who needs a hand, for the friend I'll never know

                     Am         F
Marty, I know it got lonely out there
Am                                C
Coyotes cryin' at midnight in the cold desert air
    Em                                 Am         F
The heart that sorrow broke in you can never be repaired
Em           Am            F           Em  Am  F  C
Mart, I know I let you down somewhere
