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.
