The Painted Desert

C     G


[Chorus]
    C
The painted desert
              G
Can wait till summer
      C
We've played this game of just 
imagine long enough
           G
Wait 'till summer?


[Verse 1]
         Bm11                Em   
When I'm sure the rains have 
                  D
ended, the blooms have gone,
Em                     D
Everyone killed by the morning 
frost.
     C               G        C  
Is a cactus blooming there in 
            G
every roadside stand
          C           G           
Where the big deal is cowboy gear 
        D        C
sewn in Japan?


[Chorus]
    C
The painted desert
              G
Can wait till summer
      C
We've played this game of just 
imagine long enough
           G
Wait 'till summer?

[Verse 2]
         Bm11                Em   
When I'm sure the rains have 
                  D
ended, the blooms have gone,
Em                     D
Everyone killed by the morning 
frost.
     C               G
Is a cactus blooming there
 C                G
Upon the northern rim
C                 G               
  Or in the ruins of the Hopi Mesa 
 D
dens?


[Bridge]
Dm           F              
   You met a new friend in the 
    C
canyon
          Am
Or so you wrote
C                     Am
  On a blanket in the cooling sand
C                       Am
  You and your friend a-greed that
D                Dm
  The stars were so many there
G
  They seemed to overlap


[Chorus]
C
   The painted desert
              G
Can wait till summer
      C
We've played this game of just 
imagine long enough
           G
Wait 'till summer?


[Verse 3]
         Bm11                Em   
When I'm sure the rains have 
                  D
ended, the blooms have gone,
Em                     D
Everyone killed by the morning 
frost.
     C               G
Is a cactus blooming there
       C                  G
As you watched the native boy?
   C         G                
In flagstaff trailer court, you 
            D
wrote the line
    C        G
"He kicked a tumbleweed
        C                 G
And his mother called him home
          C       G
Where the Arizona moon
                D
Met the Arizona sun"
            C        G      C    
I wanted to be there by May at 
         G
the latest time
C              G                 
Isn't that the plan we had or 
                   D
have you changed your mind?
  C               G           
I haven't heard a word from you 
        C             G
since Phoenix or Tucson
C        G                      
April is over, will you tell me how 
D
long
             C
Before I can be there?
