C

[Verse 1]
---------------------
C                               G
 You can see the bear paws, the old man on his back
G7                                  Am
  Prickly pears, a blue moon in the short and native grass
          C           G7    Am     C       F      Em      Dm
There's a bunch of empty beer cans in   an old, loose mineral sack
G                                    C
Give you some idea of where you're at

[Verse 2]
---------------------
C                   G
 Buck brush and sage far as you can see
         G7                                          Am
It's the south slopes of the hills and turns to pines  and poplar trees
C       G7   Am     C        F     Em
 Cattle all grazin' up   and down a big  coulee
Dm      G                                              C
  Under Charley Russel skies like a blue and purple sea
Cypress Hills

[Chorus (1)]
---------------------
Am        G
  and the big country below
              Am             G7
Where life is still and a man  can be alone
            C      G7        Am           C    F           Em      Dm
And you can duck underneath all  your trials   and troubles for  a time
       G                             C
Like a pronghorn underneath a bottom wire

[Chorus (2)]
---------------------
Am        G
  and the big country below
              Am             G7
Where life is still and a man  can be alone
        C      G7        Am           C    F           Em      Dm
You can duck underneath all  your trials   and troubles for  a time
       G                             C
Like a pronghorn underneath a bottom wire

[Outro]
---------------------
        C         G7     Am        C
You can sweat and cuss and wonder why
     F       Em
They say our west has died
Dm         G7
  When the folks around the Cypress Hills
Still drag calves to the fire
C | G7 | Am | C | F | Em | Dm 
G | C
