(same chords) Dark canyon wall, the call and the answer and the mare in the pasture pitch black and baring its teeth.

Bb Solo (update coming soon) [Played over chord progression I] [Chord progression II] Now I'm asleep in a car, I mean the world to a (potty/parted)-mouth girl, a pretty pair of blue-eyed birds. Time isn't kind or unkind, you liked to say. But I wonder to who (or?) what it is you're saying today. [Chord progression I] Mary Anne, do you remember the tree by the river when we were seventeen? Dark canyon road, I was coy in the half-moon; happy just to be with you, and you were happy for me. www.TAB6.com
