   G                 D                 C
My Nashville friends think I'm strange

                    G
to make my home out on the range

                          D            C   D     
Think it's nothin' but a God forsaken land

              G                       D   
Why don't you bring your guitar and family, 

C               G
move on down to Tennesse

                           D                C    D 
Well, I just smile because they don't understand
[Chorus]
             Am                      D     
But if they ever saw a sunrise on a mountain mornin'

G                  D/F#                   Em
Watched those cotton candy clouds roll by

            C            D           G             D - Em - C
They'd know why I live beneath these Western Skies
G - D - Em - C [2nd Verse]
      G                 D
I got peace of mind and elbow room 

  C                 G  
I love the smell of sage in bloom

                D              C   D
Catch a rainbow on my fishin' line

       G                D   
We got county fairs and rodeos, 

        C                   G
ain't a better place for my kids to grow

                         D               C   D   
Just turn'm loose in the western summer time
[Chorus]
           Am                        D
And if you ever held your woman on a summer's evening

          G                  D            Em 
While the prairie moon was blazin' in her eyes

           C          D                       G   D/F#  G
You'd know why I live beneath these Western Skies

Em                           D                             C D G F#
You ain't lived until you've watched those Northern Lights

Em                                   D                C
Set around the campfire and hear the coyotes call at night

           D            
Makes you feel alright
G - D - C - G - D - C - D - G - D - C - G - D - G
     G                     D
So guess I'll stay right where I'm at, 

C                    G
wear my boots and my cowboy hat

                  D                  C   D 
But I'll come and see ya once in a while

     G                    D
I'll bring my guitar and sing my songs, 

C                G
sorry if I don't stay too long

                          D                     C    D
I love Tennessee but ya know it just aint' my style

Am                               D   
I gotta be where I can see those Rocky Mountains

G                 D              Em
Ride my horse and watch an eagle fly

        C                               D                     G     D/F#  Em  
I gotta live my life and write my songs beneath these Western Skies

         C                 D                    G       D/F#  Em  C
When I die you can bury me beneath these Western Skies 

       G D/F# Em  C   
Yippee Yi
G D/F# Em C G D/F# Em C G
