(CAPO 1st Fret)

Verse 1.
D                 G             D
Wild Cat Kelly, lookin' mighty pale
                               A7
Was standin' by the sheriff's side
      D                           G             D
And when that sheriff said I'm sendin' you to jail
           A                   D
Wild Cat raised his head and cried

Chorus:
D
Oh give me land, lots land under starry skies above
               A7
Don't fence me in

Let me ride through the wide open country that I love
               D
Donāt fence me in
                                     D7
Let me be by myself in the evenin' breeze
G
Listen to the murmur of the cotton wood trees
D                          B7       Gm
Send me off forever but I ask you please
D       A7     D
Don't fence me in

Verse 2.
               G
Just turn me loose let me straddle my old saddle
                         D
Underneath the western skies
        G
On my Cayuse let me wander over yonder
                          D
Till I see the mountains rise
                                          D7
I want to ride to the ridge where the west commences
      G
And gaze at the moon till I loose my senses
   D                          B7           Gm
I can't look at hovels and I can't stand fences
D       A7     D
Don't fence me in
