{c:intro}
[G]Wild Cat Kelly, [C]lookin' mighty [G]pale
Was standin' by the sheriff's [D7]side
And [G]when that sheriff said, "I'm [C]sendin' you to [G]jail"
Wild Cat [D]raised his head and [G]↓cried
{c:verse 1}
Oh give me [G]land, lots of land, and the starry skies above
Don't fence me [D7]in
Let me ride through the wide open country that I love
Don't fence me [G]in
Let me be by myself in the [G7]evening breeze
And [C]listen to the murmur of the cottonwood [Cm]trees
[G]Send me off for-[D7]ever but I [E7]ask you [Cm]please
[G]Don't [D7]fence me [G]in.
{c:bridge}
Just [G7]turn me [C]loose, let me straddle my old saddle
Underneath the western [G]skies
On [G7]my cay-[C]use, let me wander over yonder
Till I see the mountains [G]rise [D7]
{c:verse 2}
I want to [G]ride to the ridge where the [G7]West commences
[C]Gaze at the moon till I lose my [Cm]senses
And I [G]can't look at [D7]hobbles and I [E7]can't stand [Cm]fences
[G]Don't [D7]fence me [G]in
{c:bridge}
Just [G7]turn me [C]loose, let me straddle my old saddle
Underneath the western [G]skies
On [G7]my cay-[C]use, let me wander over yonder
Till I see the mountains [G]rise [D7]
{c:verse 3}
I want to [G]ride to the ridge where the [G7]West commences
[C]Gaze at the moon till I lose my [Cm]senses
And I [G]can't look at [D7]hobbles and I [E7]can't stand [Cm]fences
[G]Don't [D7]fence me [G]in
