The ^D Nashville friends ^A think Iâm strange to ^G make my home out ^D on the range
Think itâs nothinâ but ^A a God forsake ^G n land ^A
D Why donât you bring your guitar and ^A family, ^G move on down to Te ^D nnesse
Well, I just smile because ^A they donât under ^G stand
But if they ^G ever saw a sunrise on a ^A mountain morninâ
^D Watched those cotton ^A candy clouds roll ^G by
Theyâd know why I live be ^A neath these Western ^D Skies
Verse 2
I got peace of mind and elbow room I love the smell of sage in bloom
Catch a rainbow on my fishinâ line
We got county fairs and rodeos, ainât a better place for my kids to grow
Just turn Îem loose in the western summer time
And if you ever held your woman on a summerâs evening
While the prairie moon was blazinâ in her eyes
Youâd know why I live beneath these Western Skies
Bridge:
^Bm You ainât lived until youâv ^A e watched those Norther ^G n Lights ^A
Bm Set around the campfire and hear the ^A coyotes call at ^G night
Makes you ^A feel alright
Verse 3
So guess Iâll stay right where Iâm at, wear my boots and my cowboy hat
But Iâll come and see ya once in a while
Iâll bring my guitar and sing my songs, sorry if I donât stay too long
I love Tennessee but ya know itâs just not my style
I gotta be where I can see those Rocky Mountains
Ride my horse and watch an eagle fly
I gotta live my life and write my songs beneath these Western Skies
When I die you can bury me beneath these Western Skies, Yippee Yi
