'Western Skies' by Chris LeDoux - Guitar Tutorial

            Verse 1:
     G                D                      C           G  
The Nashville friends think Iâm strange to make my home out 
on the range 
                D              C        D  
Think itâs nothinâ but a God forsaken land 
 G                          D         C                    G  
Why donât you bring your guitar and family move on down to Tennesse
                            D                 C  
Well, I just smile because they donât understand 
             C                         D  
But if they ever saw a sunrise on a mountain morninâ 
 G                      D               C  
Watched those cotton candy clouds roll by 
                           D                  G  
Theyâd know why I live beneath these Western Skies 
 
Verse 2:
I got peace of mind and elbow room I love the smell of sage 
in bloom 
Catch a rainbow on my fishinâ line 
We got county fairs and rodeos, ainât a better place 
for my kids to grow 
 
Just turn Îem loose in the western summer time 
And if you ever held your woman on a summerâs evening 
While the prairie moon was blazinâ in her eyes 
Youâd know why I live beneath these Western Skies 
  
Bridge: 
 Em                             D                 C      D  
You ainât lived until youâve watched those Northern Lights 
 Em                                     D               C  
Set around the campfire and hear the coyotes call at night 
           D  
Makes you feel alright 
 
Verse 3:
So guess Iâll stay right where Iâm at, wear my boots 
and my cowboy hat 
But Iâll come and see ya once in a while 
Iâll bring my guitar and sing my songs, sorry 
if I donât stay too long 
I love Tennessee but ya know itâs just not my style 
I gotta be where I can see those Rocky Mountains 
Ride my horse and watch an eagle fly 
I gotta live my life and write my songs beneath 
these Western Skies  
 
When I die you can bury me beneath these Western Skies, Yippee Yi
