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
