[E]
Well, I'm riding [G#] through the lawn [A] singing the same [E] old cowboy song [F#m] that's been sung a hundred times [E] before.
Ain't got nothing but [G#] my name, [A] and I'm the only [E] man I know [A#] to blame.
But [F#m] I'm living, I'm happy, and [E] I'm free.
Just [A] listen to the wind blow, [G#m] let it blow, let it blow.
[A#] [F#m] Sand over [Em] my trail, [E]
I [F#m] got my saddle [A] on the ground.
[G#m] And that old moon, he can still [Gm] be found [F#m] hiding in the desert sky.
[F#] [F#m]
I like the [E] amazing life, [G#] like a prairie breeze, [A] a good stop [E] hold between [Gm] my knees.
[F#m] Just being alone, just [E] being me.
[C#m] And when I die, let me die [G#] with a dream in my [A] mind, a smile on my face [E] and no troubles [A#] behind,
[A] and no frost on my grave to [F#m] show my [E] resting place.
Just [F#m] listen to the wind blow, [G#m] let it blow, let it blow.
[Gm] [F#m] Sand over [E] my trail, I [F#m] got my saddle on the ground.
And that [G#m] old moon, he can still [Gm] be found [A] hiding in the desert [D#] sky.
