Hi there!  I guess I'm on a Dixie Chick phase
right now and just not happy with the submitted chords for
a few of their hits so I'm doing my own.  I think this sounds
pretty good and any suggestions would be appreciated! The Intro
was difficult, I hope I got it right:) Listen to the song for the
strumming. (In the verses most chords are single strummed all in
a row.)

[Verse]
 
               Am    G      C
I said I wanna touch the earth
        Am       G     C
I wanna break it in my hands
        Am       G     C    F     G
I wanna grow something wild and unruly
        Am           G    C
I wanna sleep on the hard ground
       Am         G    C
In the comfort of your arms
     Am     G       C      F
On a pillow of blue bonnets
     G
In a blanket made of stars
      F      C       G
Oh it sounds good to me,
 
I said..
 
 
[Chorus]
 
       C    F   G
Cowboy take me away
                 Am
Fly this girl as high as you can
  F           G
Into the wild blue
       C    F    G
Set me free oh I pray
          Am
Closer to heaven above and
F         G
Closer to you
             F Am C
Closer to you
 
F Am C
F Am C F G
 
 
[Verse]
 
        Am       G      C
I wanna walk and not run
        Am       G      C
I wanna skip and not fall
        Am      G       C
I wanna look at the horizon
F       G
And not see a building standing tall
        Am     G       C
I wanna be the only one
    Am    G        C
For miles and miles
Am         G     C
Except for maybe you
F       G
And your simple smile
 
      F      C       G
Oh it sounds good to me
       F         C       G
Yes it sounds so good to me
 
 
[Chorus]
 
       C    F   G
Cowboy take me away
                 Am
Fly this girl as high as you can
  F           G
Into the wild blue
       C    F    G
Set me free oh I pray
          Am
Closer to heaven above and
F         G
Closer to you
             C F G
Closer to you
 
Am F G

      F         C       G
Oh it sounds so good to me
 
 
[Chorus]
 
       C    F   G

                 Am
Fly this girl as high as you can
