Oh, give me land, lots of land under star - ry skies above -- 
       G5    D5   A5
Don't fence me in.
        A5              E5         A5    E5     A5
Let me ride through the wide open country that I love --
A7(V)      G5  D5
Don't fence me  in.
A5     D5        D5        D5       D5   D5
Let me be by myself in the evenin' breeze,
     G5             G5          E5        G5
And listen to the murmur of the cottonwood trees;
 D5           F#5          B5
Send me off forever but I ask you please,
 E5    A5      D5
Don't fence me in.


      D5      G5             G5           E5
Just turn me loose, let me straddle my old saddle
      G5                D5    G5   D5
Underneath the western skies
   D5     G5           G5       E5
On my cayuse, let me wander over yonder
       G5                A5   E5   A5
Till I see the mountains rise
A5  E5  A5   D5          D5            D5         D5   D5
I want to ride to the ridge where the West com - men - ces,
     G5          G5        E5     G5
And gaze at the moon till I lose my senses;
  D5              F#5           B5
I can't look at hobbles and I can't stand fences --
 E5    A5      D5
Don't fence me in.
