Verse 1
I'm [E]riding along[G#7]
[A]Singing the same old [E]cowboy [Gm7]song[F#m7]
That's been sung a hundred times [E]before
Ain't got nothing but my [G#7]name
And [A]I'm the only man I [E]know to [Gm7]blame
But I'm [F#m7]living, I'm [B7]happy and I'm [E]free
Chorus
Just listen to the [F#m7]wind blow
Let it [G#m7]blow, let it [Gm7]blow[F#m7]
Sand over my [E]trail
I got my [F#m7]saddle on the ground
And that old [G#m7]moon he can still be [Gm7]found[F#m7]
Hiding in the desert [B7]sky
Verse 2
I like [E]things in life like a [G#7]prairie breeze
[A]A big stout horse [E]between my [Gm7]knees[F#m7]
Just riding along, just being [E]me
And when I [E]die, let me die with a [G#7]dream in my mind
[A]A smile on my face and no [E]trouble behind[Gm7]
And no cross [F#m7]on my grave to [B7]show my resting [E]place
Chorus
So I can listen to [F#m7]the wind blow
Let it [G#m7]blow, let it [Gm7]blow[F#m7]
Sand over my [E]trail
I got my [F#m7]saddle on the ground
And that [G#m7]old moon he can still be [Gm7]found[F#m7]
Hiding in the desert [B7]sky

Outro
Won't you [F#m7]bury me with my [B]chaps on
And my six [E]gun strapped to my [F#m7]side
So I can watch the moon [F#m7]hiding in the [B7]desert [E]sky
[F#m7]Hiding in the [B7]desert [E]sky
[F#m7]Hiding in the [B7]desert [E]sky
[F#m7]Hiding in the [B7]desert [E]sky
