[Intro]
G  Gm  D
 
 
[Verse 1]
    D         D7          G             Gm
I'm weary and tired, I've done my day's ridin'
D           Em7        A7
Nightime is rolling my way
    D            D7           G              Gm
The sky's all on fire and the light's slowly fadin'
D            G              D
Peaceful and still ends the day
F#m        Bm        F#m             D9
Out on the trail the night birds are callin'
G             Gm       D
Singin' their wild melody
F#m         Bm          F#m        D9
Down in the canyon, the cottonwood whispers
  G         Gm        D     G  Gm  D
A song of Wyoming for me
 
 
[Verse 2]
        D         D7        G             Gm
Well, I wandered around the towns and the cities
         D          Em7         A7
Tried to figure the how and the why
  D              D7                 G            Gm
I stopped all my schemin', I'm just driftin' and dreamin'
D            G          D
Watching the river roll by
F#m             Bm      F#m          D9
Here comes that big ole prairie moon risin'
G            Gm            D
Shinin' down bright as can be
F#m       Bm             F#m    D9
Up on the hill there's a coyote singin'
  G         Gm        D     G  Gm  D
A song of Wyoming for me
 
 
[Verse 3]
         D           D7          G            Gm
Now it's whiskey and tobacco and bitter black coffee
  D            Em7      A7
A lonesome old dogie am I
           D         D7             G            Gm
But wakin' up on the range, Lord, I feel like an angel
D           G            D
Free like I almost could fly
F#m          Bm        F#m      D9
Drift like a cloud out over the badlands
G           Gm          D
Sing like a bird in the tree
    F#m         Bm   F#m                D9
The wind in the sage sounds like heaven singin'
  G         Gm        D
A song of Wyoming for me
  G         Gm        D     G  Gm  D
A song of Wyoming for me

Kent Lewis did this before Mr. Denver, although I'm thinking John Denver wrote it.
