Canyon Joe Guitar Tabs by Joe Purdy

From the album of the same name.

Capo 3rd fret

Chords used:

C: X32010
Em: 022000
F: 133210
G: 320010
Am: X02210

The picking pattern is relatively simple for the most part. There are a couple of minor variations
on the chords used. For example sometimes the intro and going into the verse uses a variation
on the G:


e|----------------------------3---|
B|-------1----------1-------------|
G|-----0----0-------0---0---0-----|
D|---2--------0p2---0-----0-------|
A|--------------------------------|
G|-3--------------3---------------|

Sometimes notes are added or taken out, but if you stick to the chord shapes you can't really go wrong. For the verse in general:

        C            Em              F               G
e|---------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-------1-------------0--------------1----------------1---------|
G|-----0--0--0------0----0--0------2----2---2------0-----0---0---|
D|----2-2---2-----2--2-----2-----3---3----3------0---0-----0-----|
A|--3------------------------------------------------------------|
E|--------------0--------------1---------------3-----------------|

       Am              F             C       Am       G        F

Intro: G

Verse:

C                                    Em
Well I live in the canyon where the old coyotes howl

     F                                     G
They come down from the mountains and the dogs begin to growl

         Am                                 F
And they meet up in the darkness, and they fight until the death

           C                Am          G             F
When the morning sun is rising I will bury who is left

Chorus

      G        Am       F       C
