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