G                          C
Oh, give me land, lots of land,  
          G             D      G
And the starry skies above  
G                          C
Don't fence me in  
          G                   D        G
Let me ride through the wide open country that I love  
G                          C
Don't fence me in  

G                          C
Let me be by myself in the evening breeze  
          G                   D        G
Listen to the murmur of the cottonwood trees  
G                          C
Send me off forever, but I ask you please  
          G                   D        G
Don't fence me in  

G                          C
Just turn me loose, let me straddle my own saddle  
          G                   D        G
Underneath the western skies  
G                          C
On my cayuse, let me wander over yonder  
          G                   D        G
'Til I see the mountains rise  
G                          C
I want to ride to the ridge where the west commences  
          G                   D        G
Gaze at the moon until I lose my senses  
G                          C
I can't look at hobbles and I can't stand fences  
          G                   D        G
Don't
