A    G   A   D           Dsus4        D  D9  G/B    D    A  D 
Oh, give me land, lots of land under  starry skies above  
       G      D      A 
Don't fence me in. 
               A7              Em7         A7        Em7      A7 
Let me ride through the wide open country that I love  
A7         Gdim  D 
Don't fence me  in. 
A7       D             D7M           D7       D7/9    
Let me be by myself in the evenin' breeze, 
        G                     G/F#           Em7           Gm7 
And listen to the murmur of the cottonwood trees; 
     D                    F#m                         B7 
Send me off forever but I ask you please, 
 E7       A7        D 
Don't fence me in. 
         D7             G                  G/F#           Em7 
Just turn me loose, let me straddle my old saddle 
      G/B                D    G   D 
Underneath the western skies 
       D7         G                  G/F#       Em7 
On my cayuse, let me wander over yonder 
       G/B                A7   Em7   A7 
Till I see the mountains rise 
A       Em7          A   D          D7M            D7         D7/9    
I want to ride to the ridge where the West commences, 
     G            G/F#                 Em7     Gm7 
And gaze at the moon till I lose my senses; 
  D                         F#m                         B7 
I can't look at hobbles and I can't stand fences 
 E7           A7      D 
Don't fence me in.
