Don't Fence Me In
Performed by Willie Nelson
Written by Cole Porter
D
Oh give me land, lots of land
Under starry skies above
A7
Don’t fence me in
Let me ride through the wide open
Country that I love
D
Don’t fence me in
D D7
Let me be by myself in the evening breeze
G
Listen to the murmur of the cotton wood trees
D B7
Send me off forever but I ask you please
E7 A7 D
Don’t fence me in
G
Just turn me loose let me straddle my old saddle
D
Underneath the western skies
G
On my kyoose let me wander over yonder
D A7
Till I see the mountain rise
D D7
I want to ride to the ridge where the west commences
G
Gave at the moon until I loose my senses
D B7
I can’t look at hobbles and I can’t stand fences
E7 A7 D
Don’t fence me in
(For Uncle Markie)
