F           C       G7                 Am 
Tall in the saddle, we spend Christmas Day, 
F       C               G7           C 
Driving the cattle over snow covered-plains. 
F          C          G7      Am 
All of the good gifts given today, 
F           C           G7          C 
Ours is the sky and the wide open range.

F           C           G7               Am 
Back in the cities they have different ways, 
F            C          G7           C 
Football and eggnog and Christmas parades. 
F            C       G7              Am 
I'll take my saddle, I'll take the reins, 
F                  C          G7           C 
It's Christmas for cowboys on wide-open plains.

[Strophe]
F              C            G7             Am 
A campfire for warmth as we stop for the night, 
F          C           G7                C 
The stars overhead are Christmas tree lights. 
F                C          G7            Am 
The wind sings a hymn as we bow down to pray, 
F                  C       G7            C 
It's Christmas for cowboys wide-open plains.

It's Christmas for Cowboys and wide open plains.
