C5           F5                   C5 
Wildcat Kelly looking mighty pale,  
                         G5 
Was standing by the sheriff's side 
       C5             F5                C5 
And when the sheriff said "I'm sending you to 
 
jail, " 
G5                    C5 
Wildcat raised his head and cried:

Chorus: 
C5  G5         C5          A5 
Oh give me land, lots of land 
    C5             A5  
Under starry skies above. 
C5     F5           G5 
Don't Fence Me In. 
             G5              G5 
Let me ride through the wide open 
G5             G5 
Country that I love. 
G5       G5      C5 
Don't Fence Me In. 
             C5                    C5 
Let me be by myself in the evening breeze, 
F5                                D5  
Listen to the murmur of the cottonwood trees. 
C5              C5  
Send me off forever,  
F5     C5       F5             
but I ask you, please, 
C5       G5      C5                  
Don't Fence Me In. 
C5                  F5                                      
Just turn me loose, let me straddle my old 
 
saddle 
                  C5 
Underneath the western skies. 
C5       F5           
On my cayuse let me wander over yonder 
                        C5 
Till I see the mountains rise. 
G5  G5        C5                                
I want to ride to the ridge  
                C5 
where the west commences, 
F5                             D5        
Gaze at the moon until I lose my senses. 
C5                     C5                    
Can't look at hobbles  
 F5       C5   F5                        
and I can't stand fen   ces. 
C5       G5              C5                    
Don't Fence Me In.
