1St Verse
My [G]Nashville friends [D]think I'm strange[C]
to make my home out [G]on the range
Think it's nothin' but a [D]God forsaken [C]land[D]
Why don't you [G]bring your guitar and [D]family,
[C]move on down to [G]Tennesse
Well, I just smile because [D]they don't [C]understand[D]
Chorus
But if they [Am]ever saw a sunrise on a [D]mountain mornin'
[G]Watched those [D/F#]cotton candy clouds roll by[Em]
They'd know [C]why I live [D]beneath these [G]Western [D]Skies[C][Em]
G - D - Em - C
2Nd Verse
I got [G]peace of mind and [D]elbow room
I [C]love the smell of [G]sage in bloom
Catch a rainbow [D]on my fishin' [C]line[D]
We got [G]county fairs and [D]rodeos,
ain't a [C]better place for my [G]kids to grow
Just turn'm loose in the [D]western summer [C]time[D]
Chorus
And if you [Am]ever held your woman on a [D]summer's evening
While the [G]prairie moon was [D]blazin' in her [Em]eyes
You'd know [C]why I live [D]beneath these Western [G][D/F#]Skies[G]
[Em]You ain't lived until you've [D]watched those Northern [C][D]Lights[F#][G]
[Em]Set around the campfire and hear the [D]coyotes call at [C]night
Makes you [D]feel alright
G - D - C - G - D - C - D - G - D - C - G - D - G
So [G]guess I'll stay right [D]where I'm at,
[C]wear my boots and my [G]cowboy hat
But I'll come and [D]see ya once in a [C]while[D]
I'll [G]bring my guitar and [D]sing my songs,
[C]sorry if I don't [G]stay too long
I love Tennessee but ya [D]know it just aint' my [C]style[D]
[Am]I gotta be where I can see those [D]Rocky Mountains
[G]Ride my horse and [D]watch an eagle [Em]fly
I gotta [C]live my life and write my songs [D]beneath these Western [G]Skies[D/F#]
[Em]
When I [C]die you can bury me [D]beneath these Western[G] Skies [D/F#][C][Em]
Yippee [G][D/F#]Yi[C][Em]
