[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 listen [A] to the wind blow, [B] let it blow, let it blow, [A#] [F#m] sand over [E] my trail.
That [F#m] old, [A]
[G#m] and that old moon, he can still [Gm] be found [F#m] high near the desert sky.
[F#] [F#m] I like [E] to do things in life [G#] like a prairie [A] priest, a good style [E] horse between [Gm] my [F#m] knees, 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 trouble [A#] to hide, [A] and no cross on my grave [D#] to show [E] my resting place.
[F#m] Just 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 [F#m] high [A] near the [F#m]
desert [D#] sky.
