	  		A    G   A   D           D6sus4        D    D9  G/B    D    A  D 
Oh, give me land, lots of land under star - ry skies above --  
 
       G    D   A 
Don't fence me in. 
 
        A7              Em7         A7    Em7     A7 
Let me ride through the wide open country that I love -- 
 
A7(V)      Gdim  D 
Don't fence me  in. 
 
A7     D        Dm7        D7       D7/9   D9 
Let me be by myself in the evenin' breeze, 
 
     G             G/F#          Em7        Gm7 
And listen to the murmur of the cottonwood trees; 
 
 D           F#m          B7 
Send me off forever but I ask you please, 
 
 E7    A7      D 
Don't fence me in. 
 
 
      D7      G             G/F#           Em7 
Just turn me loose, let me straddle my old saddle 
 
      G/B                D    G   D 
Underneath the western skies 
 
   D7     G           G/F#       Em7 
On my cayuse, let me wander over yonder 
 
       G/B                A7   Em7   A7 
Till I see the mountains rise 
 
A  Em7  A   D          Dm7            D7         D7/9   D9 
I want to ride to the ridge where the West com - men - ces, 
 
     G          G/F#        Em7     Gm7 
And gaze at the moon till I lose my senses; 
 
  D              F#m           B7 
I can't look at hobbles and I can't stand fences -- 
 
 E7    A7      D 
Don't fence me in.
