Don't Fence Me In by Cole Porter
[E] [A] [E]
Wildcat Kelly was lookin' mighty pale
[B7]
Standin by the sheriff's side
[E] [A] [E]
When that sheriff said I'm taking you to jail
[B] [E]
Wildcat raised his head and cried
[E] [E7]
Oh give me land lots of land
[E6] [E]
Under starry skies above
[A] [E] [B7]
Don't fence me in
[F#m7] [B7]
Let me ride through the wide
[F#m7] [B7]
Open spaces that I love
[E]
Don't fence me in
[E] [Bm7] [E7]
Let me be by myself in the evening breeze
[A] [Am7]
Listen to the murmur of the cottonwood trees
[E] [Bm] [C#7] [A]
Send me off for ever but I ask you please
[E] [B7] [E]
Don't fence me in
[E7] [Bm7] [E7] [A]
Just turn me loose
Let me straddle my old saddle
[E]
Underneath the western skies
[E7] [Bm7] [E7] [A]
On my Cay-use
Let me wander over yonder
[E] [Fdim7] [B7]
Where the purple mountains rise
[F#m7] [B7] [E] [Bm7] [E7]
I want to ride to the ridge where the west com-men-ces
[A] [Am7]
Gaze at the moon 'til I lose my senses
[E] [Bm] [C#7] [A]
Can't look at hobbles and I can't stand fences
[E] [B7] [E]
Don't fence me in
[E] [A] [E]
Wildcat Kelly back again in town,
[B7]
was sitting by his sweetheart's side,
[E] [A] [E]
And when his sweetheart said, "Come on let's settle down."
[B] [E]
Wildcat raised his head and cried
[E] [E7]
Oh give me land lots of land
[E6] [E]
Under starry skies above
[A] [E] [B7]
Don't fence me in
[F#m7] [B7]
Let me ride through the wide
[F#m7] [B7]
Open spaces that I love
[E]
Don't fence me in
[E] [Bm7] [E7]
Let me be by myself in the evening breeze
[A] [Am7]
Listen to the murmur of the cottonwood trees
[E] [Bm] [C#7] [A]
Send me off for ever but I ask you please
[E] [B7] [E]
Don't fence me in
[E7] [Bm7] [E7] [A]
Just turn me loose
Let me straddle my old saddle
[E]
Underneath the western skies
[E7] [Bm7] [E7] [A]
On my Cay-use
Let me wander over yonder
[E] [Fdim7] [B7]
Where the purple mountains rise
[F#m7] [B7] [E] [Bm7] [E7]
I want to ride to the ridge where the west com-men-ces
[A] [Am7]
Gaze at the moon 'til I lose my senses
[E] [Bm] [C#7] [A]
Can't look at hobbles and I can't stand fences
[E] [B7] [E]
Don't fence me in
