Don't Fence Me In - Willie Nelson and Leon Russell
[Verse 1]
Oh, give me Dland, lots of land
under Dstarry skies above
Don't fence me A7in
Let me A7ride through the wide open
A7country that I love
Don't fence me Din
Let me Dbe by myself in the D7evening breeze,
Glisten to the murmur of the cottonwood trees,
Dsend me off forever but I B7ask you please
E7Don't A7fence me Din
[Verse 2]
Just turn me Gloose, let me straddle my old saddle
underneath the western Dskies
On my Gcayuse let me wander over yonder
till I see the mountain DriseA7  
I want to Dride to the ridge where the D7west commences,
Ggaze at the moon until I lose my senses,
I Dcan't look at hobbles and I B7can't stand fences
E7Don't A7fence me Din
