          E           G#13
Well I'm ridin' along

A13                   E       Gm7  F#m7
Singin' the same ol' cowboy song

                                    E
That's been sung a hundred times before

                          G13
Ain't got nothin' but my name

    A13                 E         Gm7
And I'm the only man I know to blame

         F#m7       B9              E
But I'm livin' I'm happy and I'm free

                   F#m7
Just listen to the wind blow

       G#m7            Gm7 F#m7
Let it blow let it blow

                E
Sand over my trail

         F#m7
I got my saddle on the ground

         G#m7                          Gm7 F#m7
And that ol' moon he can still be found

                      B7
Hidin' in the desert sky

                E
I like simple things in life

        G#13
Like a prairie breeze

  A13                  E         Gm7 F#m7
A good stout horse between my knees

                             E
Just bein' alone just bein' me

    
And when I die let me die

         G#13
With a dream in my mind

   A13                      E         Gm7
A smile on my face and no trouble behind

             F#m7
And no cross on my grave 

     B9              E
To show my restin' place

                       F#m7
So I can listen to the wind blow

       G#m7            Gm7 F#m7
Let it blow let it blow

                E
Sand over my trail

          F#m7
I got my saddle on the ground

        G#m7                           Gm7 F#m7
And that ol' moon he can still be found

                       B7
Hidin' in the desert sky

          F#m7              B9
Won't you bury me with my chaps on 

        E                     F#m7
And my six-gun strapped to my side

                          F#m7
So I can watch the moon a-hidin'

        B9      E
In the desert sky

F#m7           B9      E
Hidin' in the desert sky

F#m7           B9      E
Hidin' in the desert sky

F#m7           B9      G6/9 F#6/9 F6/9 (E6/9)
Hidin' in the desert sky
