Don't Fence Me In - Bing Crosby
Verse 1:
Oh give me [G] land, lots of [Gmaj7] land under [G6] starry skies a-[Gmaj7]-bove,
[G6] Don't [D7] fence me [Am7] in, [D7]
Let me [Am7] ride through the [D7] wide open [Am7] country that I [D7] love,
[Am7] Don't [D7] fence me [G] in.
Verse 2:
Let me [G] be by my-[Gmaj7]-self in the evening [G7] breeze,
And [C] listen to the murmur of the cottonwood [Cm] trees.
[G] Send me off for-[G7]-ever,
but I [E7] ask you, [Am7] please,
[G] Don't [D7] fence me [G] in.
|Chorus:
|[G] Just turn me [C] loose, let me straddle my old saddle
|Underneath the western [G] skies. [G7]
|[G7] On my cay-[C]-use let me wander over yonder
|Till I see the mountains [G] rise... [D7*]
Outro:
I want to [G] ride to the [Gmaj7] ridge, where the west com-[G7]-mences,
And [C] gaze at the moon until I lose my [Cm] senses.
And I [G] Can't look at [G7] hobbles, and I [E7] can't stand [Am7] fences.
[G] Don't [D7] fence me [G] in.
[slowing]
And I [G] Can't look at [G7] hobbles, and I [E7] can't stand [Am7] fences.
[G*] Don't [D7*] fence me [G*] in.
