Verse
C#
I rode across a valley range
F# C#
I hadn't seen for years
C#
The trail was all so spoilt and strange
G#
It nearly fetched the tears
C#
I had to let ten fences down
F# C#
The fussy lanes ran wrong
C#
And each new line would make me frown
G# F# C#
And hum this mournin' song
[Chorus]
F# F# C#
Mhm, hear 'em stretchin' of the wire
C#
The urban brand is on the land
G#
I reckon I'll retire
C#
While progress toots her greedy horn
F# C#
And makes her motor buzz
C#
I thanks the Lord I wasn't born
G# F# C#
No later than I was
[Verse]
C#
'Twas good to live when all the sod
F# C#
Without no fence or fuss
C#
Belonged in partnership with God
G#
Mother Nature and to us
C#
Where skyline bounds from east to west
F# C#
And room to go and come
C#
I loved my fellow man the best
G# F# C#
When he was scattered some
[Chorus]
F# F# C#
Mhm, closer and closer crawls the wire
C#
There's hardly place to step away
G#
And call a man a liar
C#
Their house has locks on every door
F# C#
Their land is in a crate
C#
These ain't the plains of God no more
G# F# C#
They're only real estate
[Verse]
C#
When my old soul hunts range and rest
F# C#
Beyond the last divide
C#
Just plant me in some stretch of West
G#
Sunny, lone and wide
C#
Let cattle rub the tombstone round
F# C#
And coyotes mourn their kin
C#
Let horses come and paw the moun'
G# F# C#
But don't you fence it in
[Chorus]
F# F# C#
Mhm, far and farther flings the wire
C#
To crowd and pinch another inch
G#
It's all their heart's desire
C#
The world is overstocked with men
F# C#
And some will see the day
C#
When each must keep his little pen
G# F#
But I'll be far away
[Verse]
F# F# C#
Mhm Mhm Mhm
C#
Mhm
G#
Mhm
C#
While progress toots her greedy horn
F# C#
And makes her motor buzz
C#
I thanks the Lord I wasn't born
G# F#
No later than I was
