Eyes of a Painter by Kate Wolf Guitar Chords


CAPO: 3rd Fret

INTRO: Bm C D G

Grey-haired and flint-eyed, his [G-]sunbur[-]ned face lined
Grandpa was a man of few words
He had a way of not wa[-]nting[-] to say
Any more than he thought would be heard

The long years of living, da[-]y to [-]day giving
Had carved out a map on his face
With little to lose, he’d learned how to choose
And his choices were easy to trace

CHORUS:
He had the eyes of a painter
Heart of a maker of songs
His words fell like rain on the dry desert plain
Precious and so quickly gone

From a long line of teachers, whi[-]te Bapt[-]ist preachers
He was born with an Indian will
His quiet dark eyes re[-]ading [-]the light
As he rode in the low Osage hills

His school was the prairie, the Sag[-]e, the [-]wild berry
The Quail, the wide open sky
The Cottonwood thicket by the slow rolling river
The Redbud and the hot cattle drive

CHORUS:
He had the eyes of a painter
Heart of a maker of songs
His words fell like rain on the dry desert plain
Precious and so quickly gone

There were days filled with thinking, nig[-]hts with[-] the drinking
For a lost love that raged like a storm
Ah, but how his eyes smiled, when he tal[-]ked to[-] a child
The rough hands so gentle and warm

His strong arms were brown where the lo[-]ng sleeves[-] rolled down
On his faded blue cotton shirt
When times got hard, he’d go out in the yard
And he’d cuss away some of his hurt

CHORUS:
He had the eyes of a painter
Heart of a maker of songs
His words fell like rain on the dry desert plain
Precious and so quickly gone

Now the garden’s grown dusty, the ha[-]nd-axe [-]lies rusty
The door’s banging hard in the wind
Grandpa’s store is closed down, like mo[-]st of [-]the town
And it won’t be open again

And a big white car sits[-] out in [-]the yard
Of the house he built solid and true
Ah, but I see his eyes burning tonight
Like the stars in the sky he once knew

CHORUS:
He had the eyes of a painter
Heart of a maker of songs
His words fell like rain on the dry desert plain
Precious and so quickly gone
His words fell like rain on the dry desert plain
Precious and so quickly gone
