Where The Bloom Is On The Sage chords by Sons Of The Pioneers

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Intro:
 C  F  G7  C


Chorus:
     C               G7
When it's roundup time in Texas and the bloom is on the sage,
   G7                    C
How I long to be in Texas back a-ridin' on the range;
    E7       Am        E7       Am
Just to smell the bacon fryin' when it's sizzlin' in the pan,
     D7                           G7
Hear the breakfast horn in the early morn drinkin' coffee from a can;
    C               G7
Just a-ridin' rockin' ropin' bound to leather all day long,
    G7                 G7       E7
Just a-swayin' sweatin' swearin' listenin’ to a cowhand's song;
    A7              D7
How it beckons and I reckon I would work for any wage,
   C         F         G7       C
To be free again just to be again where the bloom is on the sage.

Verse:
            G7         C
To most folks there's a spot that lives forever,
            G7     C  C7
Deep down within their fondest memories,
    F       Fm      C   Am
Though I have been a rover I have never,
   D7             G7
Seen anyplace that I would rather be;


Chorus:
     C               G7
When it's roundup time in Texas and the bloom is on the sage,
   G7                    C
How I long to be in Texas back a-ridin' on the range;
    E7       Am        E7       Am
Just to smell the bacon fryin' when it's sizzlin' in the pan,
     D7                           G7
Hear the breakfast horn in the early morn drinkin' coffee from a can;
    C               G7
Just a-ridin' rockin' ropin' bound to leather all day long,
    G7                 G7       E7
Just a-swayin' sweatin' swearin' listenin’ to a cowhand's song;
    A7              D7
How it beckons and I reckon I would work for any wage,
   C         F         G7       C
To be free again just to be again where the bloom is on the sage.
