Canvas

Em C G Dsus2 2x Em C I had a a brother who wasn't from my family G Dsus2 We worked a ranch by the border where the rain cloud's never seen Em C And old Rocco was a ranch hand, he got fired from our bossman G Dsus2 Now he works a 'dozer in Eagle Pass Em C I ain't seen him in a long time, I wonder how he's gettin' by G Dsus2 And I wish our fate sometimes could take us back C Em He said, "Your life is a canvas, you paint some everyday G Dsus2 And when you think you've got it all figured out in your head you know the Man's got your final say C Em And look back on all your memories, if we go our separate ways G Dsus2 Em C G Dsus2 Don't forget your life's a canvas, we might get painted back someday" Em C You're rollin' barbed wire and killin' time G Dsus2 You wake the sunrise and work till nine Em C Just like the sunset on the ocean, the light just fades away G Dsus2 You see the stars shine in the desert just before the break of day Em C And then the wind throws me a memory of an L.A girl I loved G Dsus2 You know she left me for the sunset when she said she'd had enough Em C And as the sweat rolls through my work glove, ask me "What are you doin' here?" G Dsus2 Could she love you for a lifetime and not even shed a tear? Em C I bet she'd ride by Arizona when them mountains all turn black G Dsus2 Question faith down at some crossroad, drinkin' from a paper sack Em C I've lost two buddies from two drunken nights and that alone is tough G Dsus2 They're probably in some better place but man it's gettin' rough Em C It's gettin' rough G Dsus2 It's gettin' rough C Em He said, "Your life is a canvas, you paint some everyday G Dsus2 And when you think you've got it all figured out in your head you know the Man's got your final say C Em And look back on all your memories, if we go our separate ways G Dsus2 Em C G Dsus2 Don't forget your life's a canvas, we might get painted back someday" Em C G Dsus2 Em
