Wildcat Kelly looking mighty pale,  
                                                        G7 
Was standing by the sheriff's side 
       C                F                          C 
And when the sheriff said 'I'm sending you to 
 
jail, ' 
G7                                                 C 
Wildcat raised his head and cried:

Chorus: 
C  G7         C                   Am 
Oh give me land, lots of land 
          C                         Am  
Under starry skies above. 
C      F                G 
Don't Fence Me In. 
             G                            G7 
Let me ride through the wide open 
G                     G7 
Country that I love. 
G       G7             C 
Don't Fence Me In. 
             C                                                  C7 
Let me be by myself in the evening breeze, 
F                                                                         Dm7  
Listen to the murmur of the cottonwood trees. 
C                          C7  
Send me off forever,  
                 F     C7       F             
but I ask you, please, 
C       G7              C                  
Don't Fence Me In. 
C7                  F                                      
Just turn me loose, let me straddle my old 
 
saddle 
                                                C 
Underneath the western skies. 
C7       F           
On my cayuse let me wander over yonder 
                                            C 
Till I see the mountains rise. 
G  G7        C                                
  I   want to ride to the ridge  
                                       C7 
where the west commences, 
F                                                          Dm7        
Gaze at the moon until I lose my senses. 
C                     C7                    
Can't look at hobbles  
                     F       C7   F                        
and I can't stand fen   ces. 
C       G7              C                    
Don't Fence Me In.

Wild cat Kelly back again in town,  
 
was sitting by his sweetheart's side,  
 
And when his sweetheart said,  
 
'Come on let's settle down.' 
 
Wild Cat raised his head and cried:
