[Verse 1]
F G F
In Red Rock, Arizona, he lived for many years alone
C
A gangly kid from Colorado, who could sing the sweetest songs
F G F
I first heard Woody's songs from him in a cabin in the snow
C
Seems like it was yesterday, but it was years and years ago
[Verse 2]
F G F
He moved to Arizona in Nineteen Sixty-One
C
Got a job at the Indian school, he was livin' in the sun
F G F
My life was movin' fast by now, I was always on the run
C Em
My country life was far behind and the circus had begun
[Chorus]
Am F
Marty, I know it got lonely out there
Am C
Coyotes cryin' at midnight in the cold desert air
Em Am F
The heart that sorrow broke in you can never be repaired
Em Am F C
Mart, I know I let you down somewhere
[Verse 3]
F G F
I knew that me and Marty, we should have been good friends
C
I always knew the paths we walked, were meant to cross again
F G F
We talked on the telephone once or twice a year
C
His voice was so familiar, his memory was clear
[Verse 4]
F G F
I'll never know what brought him to where he finally stood
C
A shotgun pointed at his head in a cabin in the woods
F G
But somehow I could hear it, it struck my heart as well
F C Em
For the unknown man who needs a hand, for the friend I'll never know
[Chorus]
Am F
Marty, I know it got lonely out there
Am C
Coyotes cryin' at midnight in the cold desert air
Em Am F
The heart that sorrow broke in you can never be repaired
Em Am F Em Am F C
Mart, I know I let you down somewhere
