   A       B        C#       A    E
If I was a crow and you were a canyon 
    C#              B              A                 B
I'd drink from your rivers and I'd swim through your air 
    A           B              C#         A    E
I'd built up my nest where the roots that there hold you 
    C#           B                A            B
My feathers cold black would find life in your care 
        A         B            C#        A     E
And the mountains would ponder love laid below them 
        C#           B             A     B
And the rivers would wonder to the ocean again 
   A       B        C#       A    E
If I was a crow and you were a canyon 
    C#            B             A                B
I'd still have to leave you, my first love's the wind 
   A         B                C#     A    E
If I's a new rider, and you a starry eyed sorrel 
    C#           B         A        B
I'd give my last dollar to ride you away 
     A         B                C#         A    E
We'd run to Montana through the clover and laurel 
          C#        B           A              B
Where the hills are pillows for dream heads to lay 
        A          B          C#          A   E
And the wind would blow, cold wind on the mountain 
        C#               B         A           B
And the robins would fly south the same in the sun 
    A            B             C#                A E
I'd follow those robins on the tunes that they'd offer 
    C#             B        A          B
And cry for the sorrel, for her day is done 

*I'm too lazy to tab out this instrumental*

    A            B              C#        A   E
But when I cross over don't you buy me no tombstone 
      C#     B          A        B
Don't lay my bones in a grave so cold 
             A            B  rest               C#            A    E
Just let the wind take me up (pause) where it's high and it's shining 
           C     B            A          B
'Cause the end I need will be new in the day 
        A               B           C#      A  E
And the mountains would ponder love laid below them 
        C#           B             A     B
And the rivers would wonder to the ocean again 
   A       B        C#       A    E
If I was a crow and you were a canyon 
          C#      B             A                B
I'd still have to leave you, my first love's the wind 

(Last two lines a capella)
If I was a crow and you were a canyon 

I'd still have to leave you, my first love's the wind
