I could not believe this BEAUTIFUL song was not in the archives already,
so I figured it out the best I could. I have subsequently seen the sheet
music (which I believe is out-of-print) and made the corrections as well 
as I could remember them. I use a B-flat chord instead of the C w/B-flat 
bass. I like the sound of it a little better that way. I also use 
Am7 ( 0 0 2 2 1 3) in place of the 2nd Am in each line of the chorus. 
The sheet music also shows a G w/B bass preceding each C/Bb.

Here is a poem that my lady sent down
    G            F      C    G
One morning when I was away
C            G         C/Bb          F
Wrote on the back of a leaf that she found
G          F          C    G
Somewhere around Monterey

    C           G        C/Bb       F
And here is the key to a house far away
      G         F         C      G
Where I used to live as a child
     C             G             C/Bb     F
They tore down the building when I moved away
    G            F      C      G
And left the key unreconciled

    Am          C          Am              FMaj7
And down in the canyon the smoke starts to rise
   Am           C            Am           FMaj7
It rides on the wind 'til it reaches your eyes
     Am             C        Am            FMaj7   FMaj7  G
When faced with the past the strongest man cries,  cries

C   G   C/Bb  F   G   F   C   G
C   G   C/Bb  F   G   F   C   G

    Am          C          Am              FMaj7
And down in the canyon the smoke starts to rise
   Am           C            Am           FMaj7
It rides on the wind 'til it reaches your eyes
     Am             C        Am            FMaj7   FMaj7  G
When faced with the past the strongest man cries,  cries

    C         G          C/Bb        F
And here is a sunrise to set on your sill
    G             F           C     G
The ghosts of the dawn moving near
     C                 G          C/Bb            F
They pass through your sorrow and leave you quite still
G        F         C     G
Sitting among souvenirs
