Away Out There

C                             G7
A lonely spot I know where no man 
will go

                               C
Where the shadows have all the room

      G7                  C
I was riding free on that old S-P

D7                 G7
Humming a southern tune

       C                      F
When a man came along made me hush 
my song

          C   G7       C
Kicked me off away out there


                             G7
As she pulled out of sight I turned 
to the right

                  C
The left and everywhere

      G7              C
All I could see was a cactus tree

D7                    G7
A prairie dog playing there

Continues after the ad
              C                    
I watched the prairie dog eat on 
  F
the tumbleweed

           C    G7       C
That's his home away out there


F                                 
Ee oo ee dle dee dee ho oo lay dee
    C
 ee dee

G7   F#   G7                    
Ee   oo   ee dle dee dee ho ho 
          C
lay dee ee dee


Then I threw down my load in the 
G7
desert road

                     C
Rested my weary legs too

            G7                  
Watched the sinking sun make the 
 C
tall shadows run

D7                 G7
Across that barren plain

       C                    F
Then I hummed a tune to the rising 
moon

        C        G7      C
He gets lonesome way out there


                             G7
Then I closed my eyes to the starlit
 skies

               C
Lost myself in dreams

              G7               
I dreamed the desert sand was a 
 C
milk-and-honey land

D7                    G7
Then I awoke with the dawn

          C                        
There's a train coming back on the 
F
one-way track

         C       G7        C
Going to take me away from here


F                                 
Ee oo ee dle dee dee ho oo lay dee
    C
 ee dee

G7   F#   G7                    
Ee   oo   ee dle dee dee ho ho 
          C
lay dee ee dee
