Out on the trail nightbirds are callin'

Well I've wandered around the town and the city
C Am Dm7 G
Tried to figure the how and the why

Well, I stopped all my schemin', I'm just driftin' and dreamin'
C F C
Watching the river roll by
Em Am Em C9
Here comes that big old prarie moon risin'

Shinin' down bright as can be

Up on the hill there's a coyote singin'

Now it's whiskey and tobacco and bitter black coffee
C Am Dm7 G
A lonesome old dogie am I
C C7 F Fm
But wakin' up on the range, Lord I feel like an angel
C F C
Free like I almost could fly
Em Am Em C9
Drift like a cloud out over the badlands
F Fm C
Sing like a bird in the tree
Em Am Em C9
The wind in the sage sounds like heaven singin'
F Fm C
A song of Wyoming for me
