[Verse 1]
C You can see the bear paws G The old man on his back G7 Prickly pears, a blue moon Am In the short and native grass C Cadd2/B Am There's a bunch of empty beer cans Am/G F Em Dm In an old, loose mineral sack G C Give you some idea of where you're at
[Verse 2]
C G Buck brush and sage as far as you can see G7 It's the south slopes of the hills Am Turns to pine and poplar trees C Cadd2/B Am Am/G F Em Dm Cattle all a-grazing up and down a big coulee G Under Charlie Russell skies C Like a blue and purple sea
[Chorus]
Am Cypress Hills G And the big country below Am Where life is still G G7 And a man can be alone C Cadd2/B You can duck underneath Am Am/G F Em Dm All your trials and troubles for a time G C Like a pronghorn underneath a bottom wire

Am Cypress Hills G And the big country below Am Where life is still G G7 And a man can be alone C Cadd2/B You can duck underneath Am Am/G F Em Dm All your trials and troubles for a time G C Like a pronghorn underneath a bottom wire
[Post-Chorus]
C Cadd2/B Am Am/G You can sweat and cuss and wonder why F Em Dm They say our west has died G When the folks around the Cypress Hills C Still drag calves to the fire
