The Girl From The Canyon 
Recorded by Keith Whitley
Written by Jonathan Edwards

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

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

    F
The girl from the canyon she don't need to know what I've done
    C
She laughed with me in the moonlight till the morning brought the sun
    F                        Dm
The girl from the canyon the girl from the canyon
    F       A#7  C
She was the only one


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

Repeat #2

    F       A#7  C
She was the only one
