Dont Fence Me In Ukulele Chords

“Don’t Fence Me In” – Cole Porter
[Chords by Joan’s Genius 2008}
 
 
This is my most favorite song. The chords below are based on my 2 favorite covers of this:
(1) a very slow & quiet blues rendition by Holly Cole &
(2) a very fast & lively cajun version by David Byrne.
 
 
G      G7     C
Oh, give me land, lots of land under starry skies above
               G
Don't fence me in
G
Let me ride through the wide-open country that I love
G      G7       C
Don't fence me in
 
 
C                             C7
Oh let me be by myself in the evening breeze
F                           Fm
Listen to the murmur of the cottonwood trees
C                          C7
Send me off forever, but I ask you, please
G     G7       C
Don't fence me in
 
 
C7               F
   Just let me loose
                                                      C
Let me straddle my old saddle underneath the western skies
C7          F
   On my cayuse
                                              C
Let me wonder over yonder till I see the mountains rise
 
 
G    G7     C                           C7
  I want to ride to the ridge where the West commences
F                         Fm
Gaze at the moon until I lose my senses
C              C7          F          Fm
Can't look at hobbles & I can't stand fences
G      G7       C
Don't fence me in
