Key: D 4/4
G - D - Em - C
G - D - Em - C
G D
My Nashville friends think I'm strange
C G
to make my home out on the range
Em - D
Think it's nothin' but a God forsaken land
G D Bm
Why don't you bring your guitar and family,
C G
move on down to Tennesse
D Em
Well, I just smile because they don't understand
D Am D
But if they ever saw a sunrise on a mountain mornin'
G D Em
Watched those cotton candy clouds roll by
C D G D - Em - C
They'd know why I live beneath these Western Skies
C - Em - C
G D
I got peace of mind and elbow room
C G
I love the smell of sage in bloom
D
Catch a rainbow on my fishin' line
G D
We got county fairs and rodeos,
C G
ain't a better place for my kids to grow
D Em
Just turn'm loose in the western summer time
D Am D
And if you ever held your woman on a summer's evening
G F#m Em
While the prairie moon was blazin' in her eyes
C D G F#m - G
You'd know why I live beneath these Western Skies
Em D C D
You ain't lived until you've watched those Northern Lights
Em D Bm Am
Set around the campfire and hear the coyotes call at night
G Bm
Makes you feel alright
G - D - C - G - D - C - D - G - D - C - G - D - G
B D
So guess I'll stay right where I'm at,
C G
wear my boots and my cowboy hat
Em D Em D
But I'll come and see ya once in a while
G Bm
I'll bring my guitar and sing my songs,
C G
sorry if I don't stay too long
Em D
I love Tennessee but ya know it's just not my style
Am D
I gotta be where I can see those Rocky Mountains
G D Em
Ride my horse and watch an eagle fly
C D Bm G D Em
I gotta live my life and write my songs beneath these Western Skies
C D G C G
When I die you can bury me beneath these Western Skies, Yippee Yi
Em - C - G - Em - C - G
