Wildcat Kelly looking mighty pale,  
                                                        G7 
Was standing by the sheriff's side 
       C                F                          C 
And when the sheriff said "I'm sending you to 
 
jail, " 
G7                                                 C 
Wildcat raised his head and cried:

Chorus: 
C  G7         C                   Am 
Oh give me land, lots of land 
          C                         Am  
Under starry skies above. 
C      F                G 
Don't Fence Me In. 
             G                            G7 
Let me ride through the wide open 
G                     G7 
Country that I love. 
G       G7             C 
Don't Fence Me In. 
             C                                                  C7 
Let me be by myself in the evening breeze, 
F                                                                         Dm7  
Listen to the murmur of the cottonwood trees. 
C                          C7  
Send me off forever,  
                 F     C7       F             
but I ask you, please, 
C       G7              C                  
Don't Fence Me In. 
C7                  F                                      
Just turn me loose, let me straddle my old 
 
saddle 
                                                C 
Underneath the western skies. 
C7       F           
On my cayuse let me wander over yonder 
                                            C 
Till I see the mountains rise. 
G  G7        C                                
  I   want to ride to the ridge  
                                       C7 
where the west commences, 
F                                                          Dm7        
Gaze at the moon until I lose my senses. 
C                     C7                    
Can't look at hobbles  
                     F       C7   F                        
and I can't stand fen   ces. 
C       G7              C                    
Don't Fence Me In.
