E /// E/// ( PLAY C# ON THE BEAT)
E G#7
I’M RIDING ALONG
A E
SINGING THE SAME OLD COWBOY SONG
F#m7 E
THAT’S BEEN SUNG A HUNDRED TIMES BEFORE
E G#7
AIN’T GOT NOTHING BUT MY NAME
A E
AND I’M THE ONLY MAN I KNOW TO BLAME
F#m7 B7 E
BUT I’M LIVING, I’M HAPPY AND I’M FREE
A
JUST LISTEN TO THE WIND BLOW
G#m7 G#m / Gm7 /
LET IT BLOW, LET IT BLOW
F#m E
SAND OVER MY TRAIL
A
I GOT MY SADDLE ON THE GROUND
G#m7 G#m / Gm7 /
AND THAT OLD MOON HE CAN STILL BE FOUND
F#m B7
HIDING IN THE DESERT SKIES
(SOLO ON THE CHORUS)
E G#7
I LIKE THINGS IN LIFE LIKE A PRAIRIE BREEZE
A E
A BIG STOUT HORSE BETWEEN MY KNEES
F#m7 E
JUST RIDING ALONG, JUST BEING ME
E G#7
AND WHEN I DIE, LET ME DIE WITH A DREAM IN MY MIND
A E
A SMILE ON MY FACE AND NO TROUBLE BEHIND
F#m7 B7 E
AND NO CROSS ON MY GRAVE TO MARK MY RESTING PLACE
A
JUST LISTEN TO THE WIND BLOW
G#m7 G#m / Gm7 /
LET IT BLOW, LET IT BLOW
F#m E
SAND OVER MY TRAIL
A
I GOT MY SADDLE ON THE GROUND
G#m7 G#m / Gm7 /
AND THAT OLD MOON HE CAN STILL BE FOUND
F#m B7
HIDING IN THE DESERT SKIES
A
WON’T YOU BURY ME WITH MY CHAPS ON
G#m7 G#m / Gm7 / F#m
AND MY SIX GUN STRAPPED TO MY SIDE
E F#m B7 E
SO I CAN WATCH THE MOON HIDING IN THE DESERT SKIES
F#m B7 E
HIDING IN THE DESERT SKIES (X3)
