Don't Fence Me In

E7         A
Oh give me land, lots of land under starry skies above,
               E7
don’t fence me in.

Let me ride through the wide-open country that I love;
               A
don’t fence me in.
                           A7
Let me be by myself in the evening breeze,
D                                       Dm
listen to the mur-mur of the cottonwood trees.
A              Em          F#7     Dm     A      E7       A
send me off forever, but I ask you please, don’t fence me in.


          A7          D
** Just turn run me loose let me straddle my old saddle
                       A
Underneath the western skies.
         D                                                      A  E7
On my cayuse, let me wander over yonder til I see the mountains rise.


          A                           A7
I want to ride to the ridge where the west commences,
D                              Dm
gaze at the moon til I lose my senses,
A             Em             F#7         Dm
can’t look at hobbles, and I can’t stand fences;
A     E7       A
don’t fence me in.
