(Way out there)
[Verse 1]
         G                       D7
I always thought I know where no man will go

                               G
Where the shadows have all the room

      D7                  G     E
I was riding free on that old S.P.

A7                 D7
Humming a southern tune

       G                      C
When a man came along made me hush my song

          G   D       G
Kicked me off way out there
[Verse 2]
       G                    D7
As she pulled outta sight I turned to the right

                  G
The left and everywhere

    D7                    G      E
But all I could see was a cactus tree

      A7                  D7
And a prairie dog playing there

              G                       C
I watched the prairie dog feed on the tumbleweed

           G    D       G
That's his home way out there
[Interlude] | G | D7 | D7 | G | | D7 | G E | A7 | D7 | | G | C | G D | G | [Verse 3]
     G                         D7
So I threw down my load in the desert road

                     G
Rested my weary legs too

              D7                   G            E
I watched the sinking sun make the tall shadows run

     A7                D7
Out across that barren plain

       G                    C
Then I hummed a tune to the risin' moon

        G        D       G
He gets lonesome way out there
[Verse 4]
     G                     D7
So I closed my eyes to the starlit skies

                   G
And lost myself in dreams

              D7                G              E
I dreamed the desert sand was a milk and honey land

A7                  D7
Then I awoke with a start

          G                         C
There the train comin' back on that oneway track

         G        D        G
Going to take me away from here
[Interlude] | G | D7 | D7 | G | | D7 | G E | A7 | D7 | | G | C | G D | G | [Verse 5]
           G                       D7
As she was passin' by I caught her on the fly

                   G
Climbed in an open door

       D7                    G      E
Then I turned around to that desert ground

        A7                  D7
Saw the spot I would see no more

         G                       C
As I was ridin' away I heard the pale moon say:

     G                      D        G
"Farewell pal, it sure gets lonesome here"
[Outro]
 G   D   G
(Way out here)
