 EG#13
Well I'm ridin' along 
 A13EGm7F#m7
 Singin' the same ol' cowboy song 
 E
That's been sung a hundred times before
 G13
Ain't got nothin' but my name
 A13EGm7
And I'm the only man I know to blame
 F#m7B9E
But I'm livin' I'm happy and I'm free
 F#m7
Just listen to the wind blow
 G#m7Gm7F#m7
Let it blow let it blow  
 E
Sand over my trail
 F#m7
I got my saddle on the ground
 G#m7Gm7F#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
 A13EGm7F#m7
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
 A13EGm7
A smile on my face and no trouble behind
 F#m7
And no cross on my grave
 B9E
To show my restin' place
 F#m7
So I can listen to the wind blow
 G#m7Gm7F#m7
Let it blow let it blow  
 E
Sand over my trail
 F#m7
I got my saddle on the ground
 G#m7Gm7F#m7
And that ol' moon he can still be found  
 B7
Hidin' in the desert sky
 F#m7B9
Won't you bury me with my chaps on
 EF#m7
And my six-gun strapped to my side
 F#m7
So I can watch the moon a-hidin'
 B9E
In the desert sky
 F#m7B9E
 Hidin' in the desert sky
 F#m7B9E
 Hidin' in the desert sky
 F#m7B9G6/9F#6/9F6/9E6/9
 Hidin' in the desert sky
