   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
