*Note: I made an effort to make the chords line up in the appropriate place with
the lyrics, but something happens when I submit it and the formatting gets messed
up. Sorry, I did my best.
A C#7 D
Dear old western skies
Dm
I wanna go
A E7 A E7
Where the longhorn cattle roam
A C#7 D
Dear old western skies
Dm
There’ll never be
A E7 A
Another place like my old home
D
It seems that I can hear
A A7
The cattle lowin’
D
Seems that I can see
A E7
The purple sage blowin’
A C#7 D
I hope Old Paint and I will hear the dogies
Dm
By and by
A E7 A
Under dear old western skies
A D A
The cowboy may roam from his homeland
E7 A E7
Way out on the great divide
A D A
But in his heart he will still be a cowboy
B7 E7
And long for his pony to ride
Instrumental break
A C#7 D Dm A E7 A E7
A C#7 D Dm A E7 A
D
It seems that I can hear
A A7
The cattle lowin’
D
Seems that I can see
A E7
The purple sage blowin’
A C#7 D
I hope Old Paint and I will hear the dogies
Dm
By and by
A E7 A
Under dear old western skies
A D A E7 A
