[G] She lived down by the [Cadd9] dry fork [G] wash, right around the bend
You’d walk by her [Cadd9] open [G] door just to see that she was [D] safe
With [C] love in your [D] heart, you [G] tried to be a [Em] friend
But, her [C] eyes were always [D] turning you a[G]way
[G] Oh its like [C] light[G]ning up in the [D] can[G]yon
[G] You could [C] smell the [D] ozone in the [G] air
[G] When your [C] year[G]ning for an old com[D]pan[G]ion
and your [C] reason it [D] leaves you with a vacant [G] stare
INTRO
[G] It must have been a [Cadd9] quiet calm [G] before the raging storm
That day on her [Cadd9] old front [G] porch when she sang that gospel [D] song
With [C] joy in her [D] eyes she [G] sang so sweet [Em] warm
But her [C] peacefulness on [D] Earth would soon be [G] gone
[G] Oh its like [C] light[G]ning up in the [D] can[G]yon
[G] You could [C] smell the [D] ozone in the [G] air
[G] When your [C] year[G]ning for an old com[D]pan[G]ion
and can [C] forget a fertile [D] lifetime of [G] prayer
INTRO
[G] They say she had [Cadd9] moments of [G] strength and clarity
She would talk with her [Cadd9] fami[G]ly the ones that were breath[D]ing
But In her [C] old age now she [D] climbed the cliff [G] just to speak to [Em] me
She thought the [C] lightning would bring her [D] closer to my angel [G] wings
[G] It was the [C] light[G]ning up in the [D] can[G]yon
[G] She could [C] smell the [D] ozone in the [G] air
[G] For your [C] kind[G]ness for my old com[D]pan[G]ion
I [C] thank you and [D] free you from all your [G] cares
[G] It was the [C] light[G]ning up in the [D] can[G]yon
[G] She could [C] smell the [D] ozone in the [G] air
[G] It was a re[C]u[G]nion with my old com[D]pan[G]ion
I’ve been [C] waiting for her [D] release from that blank [G] stare
