Chris Ledoux - Western Skies guitar chord

Verse 1

D A G D

The Nashville friends think Iâm strange to make my home out on the range

A G A

Think itâs nothinâ but a God forsaken land

D A G D

Why donât you bring your guitar and family, move on down to Tennesse

A G

Well, I just smile because they donât understand

G A

But if they ever saw a sunrise on a mountain morninâ

D A G

Watched those cotton candy clouds roll by

A D

Theyâd know why I live beneath these Western Skies

Verse 2

I got peace of mind and elbow room I love the smell of sage in bloom

Catch a rainbow on my fishinâ line

We got county fairs and rodeos, ainât a better place for my kids to grow

Just turn Îem loose in the western summer time

And if you ever held your woman on a summerâs evening

While the prairie moon was blazinâ in her eyes

Youâd know why I live beneath these Western Skies

Bridge:

Bm A G A

You ainât lived until youâve watched those Northern Lights

Bm A G

Set around the campfire and hear the coyotes call at night

A

Makes you feel alright

Verse 3

So guess Iâll stay right where Iâm at, wear my boots and my cowboy hat

But Iâll come and see ya once in a while

Iâll bring my guitar and sing my songs, sorry if I donât stay too long

I love Tennessee but ya know itâs just not my style

I gotta be where I can see those Rocky Mountains

Ride my horse and watch an eagle fly

I gotta live my life and write my songs beneath these Western Skies

When I die you can bury me beneath these Western Skies, Yippee Yi
