Western Skies

• D

Verse 1 
    D                 A                    G                D 
The Nashville friends think I?strange to make my home out on the range 
 
                         A            G      A 
Think it?nothin?ut a God forsaken land 
D                                   A       G                  D 
Why don?you bring your guitar and family, move on down to Tennesse 
                           A                G 
Well, I just smile because they don?understand 
            G                       A 
But if they ever saw a sunrise on a mountain mornin?D                    A                 G 
Watched those cotton candy clouds roll by 
                          A                  D 
They?know why I live beneath these Western Skies 
 
Verse 2 
 
I got peace of mind and elbow room I love the smell of sage in bloom 
Catch a rainbow on my fishin?ine 
We got county fairs and rodeos, ain?a better place for my kids to grow 
 
Just turn ?m loose in the western summer time 
And if you ever held your woman on a summer?evening 
While the prairie moon was blazin?n her eyes 
You?know why I live beneath these Western Skies 
 
 
Bridge: 
Bm                           A                      G         A 
You ain?lived until you? watched those Northern Lights 
Bm                                   A               G 
Set around the campfire and hear the coyotes call at night 
          A 
Makes you feel alright 
 
 
Verse 3 
 
So guess I? stay right where I?at, wear my boots and my cowboy hat 
But I? come and see ya once in a while 
I? bring my guitar and sing my songs, sorry if I don?stay too long 
I love Tennessee but ya know it?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
