W:Was standing by the sheriff's [G7]side
W:And [C]when the [F]sheriff said

W:Chorus:
W:[C]Oh [G7]give me [C]land, lots of [Am]land
W:Under [C]starry skies a[Am]bove.
W:[C]Don't [F]Fence Me [G]In.
W:Let me [G]ride through the [G7]wide open [G]Country that I [G7]love.
W:[G]Don't [G7]Fence Me [C]In.
W:Let me [C]be by myself in the evening [C7]breeze,
W:[F]Listen to the murmur of the cottonwood [Dm7]trees.
W:[C]Send me off for[C7]ever, but I ask [F]you, [C7]please[F],

W:[G]I [G7]want to [C]ride to the ridge where the west com[C7]mences,
W:[F]Gaze at the moon until I lose my [Dm7]senses.
W:[C]Can't look at [C7]hobbles and I can't [F]stand [C7]fen[F]ces.
W:[C]Don't [G7]Fence Me [C]In.
