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