[Am][C][G][Am][F][Em][Dm]
[G][Em]
[Am][G][C]

[Verse 1]
You can see the bear [C]paws
[G]The old man on his back
Prickly pears, a blue moon
In [Am]the short and native grass
There's [C]a bunch o[Em]f empty beer c[Am]ans
in [Dm]an old loose miner[Em]al sa[Dm]ck
[G]Give you some idea of where you're at
[C]

[Verse 2]
Buck brush [G]and sage
as far as you can see
It's the south slopes of the hills
And turns to [Am]pine and poplar [C]trees
Cattle [G]all [Am]grazing up and
[Dm]down [Em]a big coulee
[Dm]Under Char[G]ley Russel skies
Like a blue and purple sea
[C]

[Verse 3]
Cypress hill[Am]s
And the [G]big country below,
where life is [Am]still
And [G]a man can be alone
You can [C]duck under[G]neath [Am]all your
trials and [F]troubles [Em]for a [Dm]time
Like [G]a pronghorn underneath a bottom wire

[Interlude 1]
[C][G]
[Am][C][G][Am][F]
[Em][Dm][G][C]
[G][Am][C][G][Am]
[F][Am][Em][Dm][G][C]
[Am]Cypress hills

[Verse 4]
And [G]the big country below,
where life is [Am]still
And [G]a man can be alone
You can duck un[C]der[G]neath [Am]all your
[G]trials and [F]troubles [Em]for a [Dm]time
Like a [G]pronghorn underneath
a bottom [C]wire

[Verse 5]
[C]You can sweat and [G]cuss and
won[Am]der w[Em]hy[G]
[F]They [Dm]say our w[Em]est has [E]died[Dm]
When the folks [G]around the
[G]cypress hills
Still drag calves to [C]the fire
[G]

[Outro 1]
