Away Out There

	  		
C                             G7 
A lonely spot I know where no man will go  

                               C 
Where the shadows have all the room 

      G7                  C 
I was riding free on that old S-P 

D7                 G7 
Humming a southern tune 

       C                      F 
When a man came along made me hush my song 
  
          C   G7       C 
Kicked me off away out there 


                             G7 
As she pulled out of sight I turned to the right 

                  C 
The left and everywhere 

      G7              C 
All I could see was a cactus tree 

D7                    G7 
A prairie dog playing there 

              C                      F 
I watched the prairie dog eat on the tumbleweed 

           C    G7       C 
That's his home away out there 


F                                     C 
Ee oo ee dle dee dee ho oo lay dee ee dee  

G7   F#   G7                              C 
Ee   oo   ee dle dee dee ho ho lay dee ee dee 


                                 G7 
Then I threw down my load in the desert road 

                     C 
Rested my weary legs too 

            G7                   C 
Watched the sinking sun make the tall shadows run 

D7                 G7 
Across that barren plain 

       C                    F 
Then I hummed a tune to the rising moon 

        C        G7      C 
He gets lonesome way out there 


                             G7 
Then I closed my eyes to the starlit skies 

               C 
Lost myself in dreams 

              G7                C 
I dreamed the desert sand was a milk-and-honey land 

D7                    G7 
Then I awoke with the dawn 

          C                        F 
There's a train coming back on the one-way track 

         C       G7        C 
Going to take me away from here 


F                                     C 
Ee oo ee dle dee dee ho oo lay dee ee dee 
  
G7   F#   G7                              C 
Ee   oo   ee dle dee dee ho ho lay dee ee dee
