[Verse 1]
Em
Long lonely sound
       C               G
Like a distant wolf or hound
         A               G               C
With the slowness of the wind inside the canyon
  Em
I gazed upon the night
        C             G
Without loneliness or fright
       A7             G           C
It was fine to have a woman by my side


[Chorus]
             C#dim7 F#7        Bm7     F
And that was ten_____  years behind me
G/B   C           Bm             G/A Am G/B C
Oh, behind me the child became a man
C#dim7 F#7        Bm7     F
Ten_____  years behind me
    G/B  C           Am     D          Em   C  Bm  Em  C  D
And it reminds me of what I don't have now


[Verse 2]
Em
Heat of the day
           C                G
When those flies got in our way
         A              G               C
With the burning of the leaves upon the hillside
Em
But I was so young
         C                G
Short of breath, clean of lung
          A7             G                 C
There's a first time for everything that's done


[Chorus]
             C#dim7 F#7        Bm7     F
And that was ten_____  years behind me
G/B   C           Bm             G/A Am G/B C
Oh, behind me the child became a man
C#dim7 F#7        Bm7     F
Ten_____  years behind me
    G/B  C           Am     D          Em   C  Bm  Em  C  D
And it reminds me of what I don't have now


[Verse 3]
Em
So far away
       C                   G
As the earth's concerned today
       A                  G              C       G  D
So the winter spreads the morning on the canyon
  Em
I gazed upon the sight
        C             G
Without loneliness or fright
       A7             G           C
It was fine to have a woman by my side
       A7             G           C
It was fine to have a woman by my side
