Song Of Wyoming
Words & Music by Kent Lewis
Sung by John Denver
from Windsong (1975)
Unusual chord:
C9 : 002333

capo up 2 frets

Well,I'm weary and tired, I've done my day's ridin'
Nightime is rollin my way
The sky's all on fire and the light's slowly fadin'
Peaceful and still ends the day
Out on the trail nightbirds are callin'
Singin' their wild melody
Down in the canyon cottonwood whispers
A song of Wyoming for me

Well I've wandered around the town and the city
Tried to figure the how and the why
Well, I stopped all my schemin', I'm just driftin' and dreamin'
C Watching the river roll by
Here comes that big old prarie moon risin'
Shinin' down bright as can be
Up on the hill there's a coyote singin'
A song of Wyoming for me

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

smokin' kachaw! (well that leaves a lot to be desired for sound effects, but just imagine my old cowboy granddaddy blowing the smoke from the tip of his six-shooter as he holsters it)**BG**

You're welcome, Hobie. I love it when one of us can answer a question so easily and quickly and I love John's songs, but was intrigued because I'd never heard of this one, that I can remember, plus I live in Wyoming, so it caught my eye.

Now, when you've got it worked up, how about sending a sound file to Max, so we can hear you on Mudcat radio?

all the best,
