Don't Fence Me In by Cole Porter




E                 A              E
Wildcat Kelly was lookin' mighty pale 

                         B7
Standin by the sheriff's side 

E                          A             E
When that sheriff said I'm taking you to jail 

        B                   E
Wildcat raised his head and cried



           E            Em7
Oh give me land lots of land 

      E6           E
Under starry skies above 

      A5    E  B7
Don't fence me in

       F#m7             B7
Let me ride through the wide 

     F#m7          B7
Open spaces that I love 

               E
Don't fence me in


       E                           Bm7   E7
Let me be by myself in the evening breeze

A                           Am7
Listen to the murmur of the cottonwood trees 

E               Bm         C#7     Am7
Send me off for ever but I ask you please 

E     B7       E
Don't fence me in


E7   Bm7  E7 A
Just turn me loose 


Let me straddle my old saddle 

                       E
Underneath the western skies


E7 Bm7 E7 A
On my  Ca-yoose 


Let me wander over yonder 

                           E     Fdim   B7
Where the purple mountains rise 


  F#m7 B7 E                                    Bm7 E7
I want to ride to the ridge where the west com-men-ces

A                       Am7
Gaze at the moon 'til I lose my senses

E             Bm            C#7         Am7
Can't look at hobbles and I can't stand fences 

E     B7       E
Don't fence me in



E              A             E
Wild cat Kelly back again in town, 

                                B7
was sitting by his sweetheart's side, 

E                             A                    E
And when his sweetheart said, "Come on let's settle down."

         B                   E
Wild Cat raised his head and cried



           E            Em7
Oh give me land lots of land 

      E6           E
Under starry skies above 

      A5    E  B7
Don't fence me in

       F#m7             B7
Let me ride through the wide 

     F#m7          B7
Open spaces that I love 

               E
Don't fence me in


       E                           Bm7   E7
Let me be by myself in the evening breeze

A                           Am7
Listen to the murmur of the cottonwood trees 

E               Bm         C#7     Am7
Send me off for ever but I ask you please 

E     B7       E
Don't fence me in


E7   Bm7  E7 A
Just turn me loose 


Let me straddle my old saddle 

                       E
Underneath the western skies


E7 Bm7 E7 A
On my  Ca-yoose 


Let me wander over yonder 

                           E     Fdim   B7
Where the purple mountains rise 


  F#m7 B7 E                                    Bm7 E7

E     B7       E
Don't fence me in
