Desert Skies Chords by The Marshall Tucker Band

Well, I'm riding through [Fm] the lawn _ _ [A] singing the same old [E] cowboy [D] song [C#m] _ that's been sung a hundred times [E] before. _ _ _ _
Ain't got nothing but [Fm] 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 [C#m] to _ the wind blow.
_ [D#m] Let it blow, [G#m] let it blow.
_ [C#m] _ _ Sand over _ [E] my trail. _ _ _ _
I [C#m] got my saddle _ on the ground.
_ [D#m] And that old moon, he can still [Gm] be found.
[C#m] _ I never did [B] the sky.
_ _ [F#m] _
I like [E] simple things in life, like [Fm] a prairie breeze.
[A] A good style [E] holds me [Dm] my knees.
[C#m] _ _ Just being alone, just [E] being me. _ _ _
_ And when I die, let me die with a [D#] dream in my mind.
[A] A smile on my face [E] and no trouble [A#] to hide.
[C#m] And no cross on my grave to [F#m] show my [E] resting place. _ _
Just [F#m] listen to the wind _ blow.
[D#m] Let it blow, let it blow.
_ [C#m] _ _ Sand over _ [E] my trail. _ _ _ _ _
I [F#m] got my saddle _ on the ground.
_ [D#m] And that old moon, he can still [Gm] be found.
[C#m] _ I never _ did [F#m] the sky.

_ _ _ _ _ [A] Won't you bury me [B] with my chaps on?
[E] And my sick gun strapped to [F#m] my side?
_ _ So I can watch the moon.
[C#m] I'm in [C#] the [F#] dead of [E] sky. _
