[Verse 1]
C G
Seen him playing in his backyard
F C
Young boy just starting out
G E7 Am
So much history in this landscape
Bb G
So much confusion, so much doubt
C G
Been there drinking on that front porch
F C
Angry kids, mean and dumb
G E7 Am
Looks like a painting, that blue skyline
Bb E Am E
God hates fags where we come from
[Chorus]
F C
'Western skies' don't make it right
G E Am
'Home of the brave' don't make no sense
E
I've seen a scarecrow wrapped in wire
Am
Left to die on a high ridge fence
Dm C
It's a cold, cold wind, It's a cold, cold wind
D E Am E Am Dm E C F G
It's a cold wind blowing, Wyoming
[Verse 2]
C G
See two coyotes run down a deer
F C
Hate what we don't understand
G E7 Am
You pioneers give us your children
Bb E Am E
But it's your blood that stains their hands
[Chorus]
F C
'Western skies' don't make it right
G E Am
'Home of the brave' don't make no sense
E
I've seen a scarecrow wrapped in wire
Am
Left to die on a high ridge fence
Dm C
It's a cold, cold wind, It's a cold, cold wind
D E Am E Am Dm E C F G
It's a cold wind blowing, Wyoming
[Bridge]
E Am
Somewhere that road forks up ahead
E Am
To ignorance and innocence
F G
Three lives drift on different winds
E Am Am/G
Two lives ruined, one life spent
[Chorus]
F C
'Western skies' don't make it right
G E Am
'Home of the brave' don't make no sense
E
I've seen a scarecrow wrapped in wire
Am
Left to die on a high ridge fence
Dm C
It's a cold, cold wind, It's a cold, cold wind
D E Am E Am Dm E C F G
It's a cold wind blowing, Wyoming
[Outro]
It's a cold, cold wind [2x]
It's a cold wind blowing, Wyoming
