Intro:

Am7  G  Am7


Verse 1:
                  G          Am7
I remember you in dresses of white
                        G         Am7
Long and flowing like a midsummer bride
                         G       Am7
Dancing in time with the pacific tide
          G
While the mission bells rang

Verse 2:
Am7                    G             Am7
Gold dust glittered on your freckled skin
                            G     Am7
Swore you were Joan of Arc, born again
                          G                Am7
I watched 'em ride in and try to rope your wind
          D
While the mission bells rang


Chorus:
Am7           D
Canyon child, free and wild
G                D/F#            E7
Haven’t seen the flowers in your hair in a while
Am7              D
Misty morning in California
G       D/F#       E7          Am7  D
I'll be right here waiting for ya, ah


Interlude:
Am7  G Am7   G Am7


Verse 3:
                   G        Am7
Heard you wound up way down south
                                  G        Am7
Tore right through the twine that tied you down
            G        Am7
Do you ever miss the sound
       D
Of the mission bells ringing?
D
Swear they're calling you


Chorus:
Am7           D
Canyon child, free and wild
G                D/F#            E7
Haven’t seen the flowers in your hair in a while
Am7              D
Misty morning in California
G       D/F#       E7          Am7  D
I'll be right here waiting for ya, ah

Haven't seen the flowers in your hair in a while
Am7              D
Misty morning in California

I'll be right here waiting for ya, ah

Canyon child
