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