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