Kate Wolf - Eyes Of A augmentedA Painter


CAPO: 3rd Fret


INTRO: B minorBm C majorC D MajorD G+G

                G- C majorC -  G+G
Grey-haired and flint-eyed, his sunburned face lined
C majorC       G+G     D MajorD
Grandpa was a man of few words
G+G          G+G - C majorC -  G+G
He had a way of not wanting to say
  FF      E minorEm        D MajorD
Any more than he thought would be heard

  G+G           G+G - C majorC -  G+G
The long years of living, day to day giving
  C majorC      G+G     A minorAm
Had carved out a map on his face
   G+G     C majorC     G+G       C majorC
With little to lose, he'd learned how to choose
    G+G      D MajorD    G+G
And his choices were easy to trace


CHORUS:
      D MajorD         C majorC
He had the eyes of a painter
          G+G
Heart of a maker of songs
  B minorBm             C majorC         D MajorD
His words fell like rain on the dry desert plain
            G+G
Precious and so quickly gone


               G+G - C majorC  -  G+G
From a long line of teachers, white Baptist preachers
    C majorC      G+G   D MajorD
He was born with an Indian will
  G+G        G+G - C majorC  -  G+G
His quiet dark eyes reading the light
   FF      E minorEm    D MajorD
As he rode in the low Osage hills


  G+G              G+G - C majorC  -  G+G
His school was the prairie, the Sage, the wild berry
  C majorC     G+G     A minorAm
The Quail, the wide open sky
  G+G     C majorC       G+G      C majorC
The Cottonwood thicket by the slow rolling river
  G+G       D MajorD     G+G
The Redbud and the hot cattle drive

CHORUS:
      D MajorD         C majorC
He had the eyes of a painter
          G+G
Heart of a maker of songs
  B minorBm             C majorC         D MajorD
His words fell like rain on the dry desert plain
            G+G   B minorBm C majorC D MajorD G+G
Precious and so quickly gone


                   G+G  -  C majorC  -  G+G
There were days filled with thinking, nights with the drinking
   C majorC       G+G      D MajorD
For a lost love that raged like a storm
    G+G              G+G -  C majorC - G+G   FF
Ah, but how his eyes smiled, when he talked to a child
          E minorEm     D MajorD
The rough hands so gentle and warm


  G+G                G+G - C majorC   -    G+G
His strong arms were brown where the long sleeves rolled down
    C majorC   G+G      A minorAm
On his faded blue cotton shirt
   G+G     C majorC       G+G     C majorC
When times got hard, he'd go out in the yard
     G+G    D MajorD      G+G
And he'd cuss away some of his hurt


CHORUS:
      D MajorD         C majorC
He had the eyes of a painter
          G+G
Heart of a maker of songs
  B minorBm             C majorC         D MajorD
His words fell like rain on the dry desert plain
            G+G
Precious and so quickly gone


                 G+G - C majorC  -  G+G
Now the garden's grown dusty, the hand-axe lies rusty
  C majorC       G+G      D MajorD
The door's banging hard in the wind
     G+G             G+G - C majorC -  G+G  FF
Grandpa's store is closed down, like most of the town
        E minorEm  D MajorD
And it won't be open again


   G+G       G+G  -  C majorC -  G+G
And a big white car sits out in the yard
    C majorC       G+G     A minorAm
Of the house he built solid and true
    G+G     C majorC  G+G     C majorC
Ah, but I see his eyes burning tonight
     G+G      D MajorD      G+G
Like the stars in the sky he once knew


CHORUS:
      D MajorD         C majorC
He had the eyes of a painter
          G+G
Heart of a maker of songs
  B minorBm             C majorC         D MajorD
His words fell like rain on the dry desert plain
            G+G
Precious and so quickly gone
  B minorBm             C majorC         D MajorD
His words fell like rain on the dry desert plain
            G+G
