[ C5 G5 D5 G5 ] Tall in the saddle we spend Christmas day [ C5 G5 D5 E5 ] Drivin' the cattle on the snow-covered plains. [ C5 G5 D5 G5 ] All of the good gifts given today; [ C5 G5 D5 E5 ] Ours is the sky and the wide open range. [ C5 G5 D5 G5 ] Back in the cities, they have different ways, Football and eggnog and Christmas parades. I'll take the blanket; I'll take the reins; Christmas for Cowboys and wide open plains. A campfire for warmth as we stop for the night; The stars overhead are the Christmas-tree lights. The wind sings a hymn as we bow down to pray; Christmas for Cowboys and the wide open plains. It's tall in the saddle we spend Christmas Day, Drivin' the cattle on the snow-covered plains. So many gifts have been opened today; Ours is the sky and the wide open range. It's Christmas for Cowboys and wide open plains.
