A D
Wildcat Kelley, lookin mighty pale
A E7
Was standing by the sheriff’s side
A D
And when the sheriff said, “I’m sending you to jail”
E A
Wildcat raised his head and cried
E E7 A
Oh, give me land, lots of land under starry skies above
E
Don't fence me in
E
Let me ride through the wide-open country that I love
E E7 A
Don't fence me in
A A7
Oh let me be by myself in the evening breeze
D Dm
Listen to the murmur of the cottonwood trees
A A7
Send me off forever, but I ask you, please
E E7 A
Don't fence me in
A7 D A
Just let me loose // Let me straddle my old saddle underneath the western skies
A7 D A
On my cayuse // Let me wonder over yonder till I see the mountains rise
E E7 A A7
I want to ride to the ridge where the West commences
D Dm A A7 D Dm
Gaze at the moon until I lose my senses // Can't look at hobbles & I can't stand fences
E E7 A
Don't fence me in
(Solo)
A D
Wildcat Kelley, back again in town
A E7
Was standin by his sweetheart’s side
A D
And when his sweetheart said, “come on, let’s settle down”
E A
Wildcat raised his head and cried
(repeat from “Oh give me land”)
E E7 A
Don't fence me in!
