D              Em   D  G 
I said I wanna touch the earth 
        Em      D    G
I wanna break it in my hands
        Em      D    G         D
I wanna grow something wild and unruly
        Em      D       G
I wanna sleep on the hard ground
       Em     D       G
In the comfort of your arms
     Em       D     G
On a pillow of bluebonnets
     D
In a blanket made of stars
      C     G     D
Oh it sounds good to me I said


[Chorus]

       G   C D 
Cowboy take me away
                 Em
Fly this girl as high as you can
C            D
Into the wild blue
       G   C   D
Set me free oh I pray
          Em 
Closer to heaven above and
C        D             C A  C A  C A    D
Closer to you  closer to you


[Verse]

        Em  D      G
I wanna walk and not run
        Em  D      G
I wanna skip and not fall
        Em     D  G
I wanna look at the horizon 
        D
And not see a building standing tall
        Em    D   G
I wanna be the only one
    Em   D  G
For miles and miles
  Em      D    G
Except for maybe you 
         D
And your simple smile
      C     G      D
Oh it sounds good to me
      C     G       D
Oh it sounds so good to me


[Chorus]

       G   C D 
Cowboy take me away
                 Em
Fly this girl as high as you can
C            D
Into the wild blue
       G      C    D
Set me free oh I pray
          Em 
Closer to heaven above and
C        D            G   C D
Closer to you closer to you


[G  O]

D              Em   D  G

I wanna break it in my hands
       Em      D    G         D
I wanna grow something wild and unruly

Oh it sounds good to me

       G   C D

Into the wild blue
       G   C   D
Set me free oh I pray
          Em 
Closer to heaven above and
C         D             G C D
Closer to you  closer to you
       G   C D               G C D
Cowboy take me away   closer to you
