| Tal | l | in | the saddle we spend Christmas day (C G D7 Em) |
| Drivin' the cattle on the snow-covered plains. (C G D7 G) |
| All of the good gifts given today; (C G D7 Em) |
| Ours is the sky and the wide open range. (C G D7 G) |
| Back in the cities, they have different ways, Football and eggnog and |
| Christmas parades. I'll take the blanket; I'll take the reins; Christmas for |
| Cowboys and wide open plains. |
| A campfire for warmth as we stop for the night; The stars overhead are the |
| Christmas-tree lights. The wind sings a hymn as we bow down to pray; |
| Christmas for Cowboys and the wide open plains. |
| It's tall in the saddle we spend Christmas Day, Drivin' the cattle on the |
| snow-covered plains. So many gifts have been opened today; Ours is the sky |
| and the wide open range. It's Christmas for Cowboys and wide open plains. |
