G
She was paintin' a picture of slum life

C               D               G
When the cowboy came limpin' by

C                    D                   G
Wearin' tattered old boots with one sole gone

G                              D
And a far away look in his eye

G
Well, he watched for a while as she painted

C                                  D          G
And then he said, "Mama you surely paint well

C                     D              G
Yes, you got all this on your canvas

G                                  D
The dirt the squalor and the hell"

G
Well, she asked to paint him in the setting

C                         D          G
Ah, but he shook his head slowly and low

        C             D                G
He said "naw, I won't fit your picture

    C    D                           G
Un- less you can paint me back home"
[Chorus]
        G                             G7
Can you paint me back home in Wyoming

       C               D          G
Riding free 'neath the big sky a- bove

C           D           G
Free as the wind on the prairie

Am                      D
Out in the hills that I love

  G                           G7
I long to get back to Wyoming

         C               D            G
And I've hoped all these years that I can

       C             D            G
Please paint me back home on your canvas

         C           D        G
Paint me back in Wy- oming a- gain

G                                        G7
Well, I never claimed this festered city

         C                 D                     G
You know I was raised on a ranch out in the west

C                      D              G
I spent my young years bustin' horses

                  G                          D
And boy they said I could ride with the best

G                                       G7
So I came here to Madison Square Garden

C              D         G
To ride in the big rodeo

C                     D          G
Ah? but I got stepped on and all crippled up

    G                                  D
And chute, bronc bustin' is all I know

G                                           G7
Ah, boy if I could just get back to Wyoming

C               D        G
I wouldn't feel so alone

C                       D                    G
Ah, but the pain is too much for the roamin'

   C              D                  G
So please can you paint me back home
[Chorus]
        G                             G7
Can you paint me back home in Wyoming

       C               D          G
Riding free 'neath the big sky a- bove

C           D           G
Free as the wind on the prairie

Am                      D
Out in the hills that I love

  G                           G7
I long to get back to Wyoming

         C               D            G
And I've hoped all these years that I can

       C             D            G
Please paint me back home on your canvas

         C           D        G
Paint me back in Wy- oming a- gain
