(Verse 1)
(C) You can see the bear paws, the (G)old man on his back
(G) Prickly pears, a blue moon in the (Am)short and native grass
There's a (Am)bunch of empty beer cans
In an (Dm)old, loose mineral sack
Give you some idea (G) of where you're at (C)

(Verse 2)
(C) Buckbrush and sage (G) as far as you can see
It's the south slopes of the hills, turns to (Am)pine and poplar trees
(C) Cattle all grazing up and (Am)down a big (G)coulee (F)
Under (Dm)Charley Russel skies, like a (G)blue and purple sea (C)

(Chorus)
Cypress (Am)Hills, and the (G)big country below (G/D) (Am)
Where life is (Am)still, and a (G)man can be alone (G/B) - - -
You can (C)duck underneath (Am)all your trials and (F)troublеs for a (Dm)time
Like a (G)pronghorn undernеath a bottom (C)wire

(Chorus)
Cypress (Am)Hills, and the (G)big country below
Where life is (Am)still and a (G)man can be alone - - -
You can (C)duck underneath
(Am)All your trials and (F)troubles for a (Dm)time
Like a (G)pronghorn underneath a bottom (C)wire

(Verse)
(C)You can sweat and (G)cuss and wonder (F)why
They (F)say our west has died (F) - - -
When the (Am)folks around the (G)Cypress Hills
Still drag calves to the (C)fire
