Intro:
E minorEm C majorC G+G Dsus2Dsus2 x2

Verse 1:
E minorEm               C majorC
 I had a a brother who wasn't from my family
G+G                      Dsus2Dsus2
 We worked a ranch by the border where the rain cloud's never seen
    E minorEm           C majorC
And old Rocco was a ranch hand, he got fired from our bossman
G+G                 Dsus2Dsus2
 Now he works a 'dozer in Eagle Pass
E minorEm                C majorC
 I ain't seen him in a long time, I wonder how he's gettin' by
   G+G                   Dsus2Dsus2
And I wish our fate sometimes could take us back

Chorus:
        C majorC           E minorEm
He said, "Your life is a canvas, you paint some everyday
       G+G                               Dsus2Dsus2
And when you think you've got it all figured out in your head you know the Man's got your final say
     C majorC               E minorEm
And look back on all your memories, if we go our separate ways
     G+G            Dsus2Dsus2            E minorEm   C majorC  G+G  Dsus2Dsus2
Don't forget your life's a canvas, we might get painted back someday"

Verse 2:
E minorEm             C majorC
 You're rollin' barbed wire and killin' time
G+G           Dsus2Dsus2
 You wake the sunrise and work till nine
       E minorEm            C majorC
Just like the sunset on the ocean, the light just fades away
      G+G                Dsus2Dsus2
You see the stars shine in the desert just before the break of day
       E minorEm              C majorC
And then the wind throws me a memory of an L.A. girl I loved
       G+G                Dsus2Dsus2
You know she left me for the sunset when she said she'd had enough

Bridge:
      E minorEm                     C majorC
And as the sweat rolls through my work glove, ask me "What are you doin' here?"
     G+G                Dsus2Dsus2
Could she love you for a lifetime and not even shed a tear?
      E minorEm            C majorC
I bet she'd ride by Arizona when them mountains all turn black
     G+G                   Dsus2Dsus2
Question faith down at some crossroad, drinkin' from a paper sack
       E minorEm                 C majorC
I've lost two buddies from two drunken nights and that alone is tough
    G+G                 Dsus2Dsus2
They're probably in some better place but man it's gettin' rough
     E minorEm    C majorC
It's gettin' rough
       G+G   Dsus2Dsus2
It's gettin' rough

Chorus:
        C majorC           E minorEm
He said, "Your life is a canvas, you paint some everyday
       G+G                               Dsus2Dsus2
And when you think you've got it all figured out in your head you know the Man's got your final say
     C majorC               E minorEm
And look back on all your memories, if we go our separate ways
     G+G            Dsus2Dsus2            E minorEm   C majorC  G+G  Dsus2Dsus2
Don't forget your life's a canvas, we might get painted back someday"
