Desert Skies chords by The Marshall Tucker Band

Verse 1:
         C        E7
Well I'm ridin' along
F                    C             Em D#m7 Dm7
Singin' the same ol' cowboy song
Dm7                              C
That's been sung a hundred times before
C                        E7
Ain't got nothin' but my name
F                      C
And I'm the only man I know to blame
        Dm7         G7            C
But I'm livin', I'm happy and I'm free

Chorus:
                   F
Just listen to the wind blow
       Em7                 Em D#m7 Dm7
Let it blow, let it blow
Dm7          C
Sand over my trail
         F
I got my saddle on the ground
         Em7                           Em D#m7 Dm7
And that ol' moon, he can still be found
Dm7                  G7
Hidin' in the desert sky

Verse 2:
              C
I like simple things in life
       E7
Like a prairie breeze
  F                  C               Em D#m7 Dm7
A good stout horse between my knees
Dm7                          C
Just bein' alone, just bein' me
C
And when I die let me die
        E7
With a dream in my mind
  F                       C
A smile on my face and no trouble behind
       Dm7
And no cross on my grave
   G7              C
To show my restin' place

Chorus:
                       F
So I can listen to the wind blow
       Em7                Em D#m7 Dm7
Let it blow, let it blow
Dm7          C
Sand over my trail
         F
I got my saddle on the ground
         Em7                       Em   Em D#m7 Dm7
And that ol' moon, he can still be found
Dm7                  G7
Hidin' in the desert sky

Verse 3:
          F
Won't you bury me with my chaps on
       Em7                    Em
And my six-gun strapped to my side
                          Dm7
So I can watch the moon a-hidin'
       Em     C
In the desert sky
Dm7           Em     C
Hidin' in the desert sky
Dm7           Em     C
Hidin' in the desert sky
Dm7           Em     C
Hidin' in the desert sky
