[Bridge]
Am                   G
  I remember watching how green
  was my valley
F                        G
  But I was thinking how deep was
  the canyon that you came from?
Am                 G
  Television static was quite
  overwhelming
F
  Was it because of the cabin,
              G
  the candles in the wind?
