Standard (EADGBE)
Oh, give me land, lots of land under starry skies above
Don't fence me in
Let me ride through the wide-open country that I love
Don't fence me in
Oh let me be by myself in the evening breeze
Listen to the murmur of the cottonwood trees
Send me off forever, but I ask you, please
Don't fence me in
Just let me loose
Let me straddle my old saddle underneath the western skies
On my cayuse
Let me wonder over yonder till I see the mountains rise
I want to ride to the ridge where the West commences
Gaze at the moon until I lose my senses
Can't look at hobbles & I can't stand fences
Don't fence me in
