Desert Skies - The Marshall Tucker Band
[Intro]
| E | % | % | % |
(Play c# on the beat)
[Verse 1]
E G#7
I'm riding along
A E Gm7 F#m7
Singing the same old cowboy song
E
That's been sung a hundred times before
G#7
Ain't got nothing but my name
A E Gm7
And I'm the only man I know to blame
F#m7 B7 E
But I'm living, I'm happy and I'm free
[Chorus]
F#m7
Just listen to the wind blow
G#m7 Gm7 F#m7
Let it blow, let it blow
E
Sand over my trail
F#m7
I got my saddle on the ground
G#m7 Gm7 F#m7
And that old moon he can still be found
B7
Hiding in the desert sky
[Verse 2]
E G#7
I like things in life like a prairie breeze
A E Gm7 F#m7
A big stout horse between my knees
E
Just riding along, just being me
E G#7
And when I die, let me die with a dream in my mind
A E Gm7
A smile on my face and no trouble behind
F#m7 B7 E
And no cross on my grave to show my resting place
[Chorus]
F#m7
So I can listen to the wind blow
G#m7 Gm7 F#m7
Let it blow, let it blow
E
Sand over my trail
F#m7
I got my saddle on the ground
G#m7 Gm7 F#m7
And that old moon he can still be found
B7
Hiding in the desert sky

[Outro]
F#m7 B
Won't you bury me with my chaps on
E F#m7
And my six gun strapped to my side
F#m7 B7 E
So I can watch the moon hiding in the desert sky
F#m7 B7 E
Hiding in the desert sky
F#m7 B7 E
Hiding in the desert sky
F#m7 B7 E
Hiding in the desert sky
