Capo 3 (Key of F)


    D
The girl from the canyon smiled a smile that brought me home
G
As sick and bleedin' as I was she took me on her own
D
Brought me to the canyon where the sun poured down like rain
    G                                     E                Bm
Her smilin' eyes and the mountain light I thought myself insane


These hills have seen me runnin' till my horse could hardly stand
Hidin' by day in the mountains movin' with the moon on the land
I'm tryin' to find my freedom in a world that wants me dead
The girl from the canyon took and healed my wounds instead


Chorus:
    G 
The girl from the canyon she don't need to know what I've done
    D
She laughed with me in the moonlight till the morning brought the sun
    G                         Em
The girl from the canyon, the girl from the canyon
    G       C    D
She was the only one


An outlaw is a hunted one with a price upon his head
We're all outlaws in a way that is what she said
And so I left the canyon when I was strong enough to ride
The girl from the canyon she was ridin' by my side.

Chorus

She was the only one
