[1st Verse]
   G                 D       
My Nashville friends think I'm 
          C
strange
                    G
to make my home out on the range
                          D 
Think it's nothin' but a God 
           C   D
forsaken land
              G                    
Why don't you bring your guitar and
   D
 family,
C               G
move on down to Tennesse
                           D   
Well, I just smile because they 
             C    D
don't understand

[Chorus]
             Am                    
But if they ever saw a sunrise on a
  D
 mountain mornin'
G                  D/F#          
Watched those cotton candy clouds
         Em
 roll by
            C            D        
They'd know why I live beneath 
   G             D - Em - C
these Western Skies

  C                 G
I love the smell of sage in bloom
                D              C   D
Catch a rainbow on my fishin' line
       G                D
We got county fairs and rodeos,
        C                   G
ain't a better place for my kids to 
grow
                         D      
Just turn'm loose in the western 
         C   D
summer time

[Chorus]
           Am                      
And if you ever held your woman on 
  D
a summer's evening
          G                  D    
While the prairie moon was blazin'
        Em
 in her eyes
           C          D           
You'd know why I live beneath 
            G   D/F#  G
these Western Skies

Em                           D   
You ain't lived until you've 
                          C D G F#
watched those Northern Lights
Em                                
Set around the campfire and hear 
   D                C
the coyotes call at night
           D
Makes you feel alright

     G                     D
So guess I'll stay right where I'm 
at,
C                    G
wear my boots and my cowboy hat
                  D                
But I'll come and see ya once in a 
  C   D
while
     G                    D
I'll bring my guitar and sing my 
songs,
C                G
sorry if I don't stay too long
                          D        
I love Tennessee but ya know it 
             C    D
just aint' my style

Am                               
I gotta be where I can see those 
D
Rocky Mountains
G                 D              Em
Ride my horse and watch an eagle fly
        C                        
I gotta live my life and write my 
       D                     G     
songs beneath these Western Skies
D/F#  Em

         C                 D      
When I die you can bury me beneath
              G       D/F#  Em  C
 these Western Skies
       G D/F# Em  C
Yippee Yi
