Away Out There

C                             G7
A lonely spot I know where no man will go

                               C
Where the shadows have all the room

      G7                  C
I was riding free on that old S-P

D7                 G7
Humming a southern tune

       C                      F
When a man came along made me hush my song

          C   G7       C
Kicked me off away out there


                             G7
As she pulled out of sight I turned to the right

                  C
The left and everywhere

      G7              C
All I could see was a cactus tree

D7                    G7
A prairie dog playing there

              C                      F
I watched the prairie dog eat on the tumbleweed

           C    G7       C
That's his home away out there


F                                     C
Ee oo ee dle dee dee ho oo lay dee ee dee

G7   F#   G7                              C
Ee   oo   ee dle dee dee ho ho lay dee ee dee


                                 G7
Then I threw down my load in the desert road

                     C
Rested my weary legs too

            G7                   C
Watched the sinking sun make the tall shadows run

D7                 G7
Across that barren plain

       C                    F
Then I hummed a tune to the rising moon

        C        G7      C
He gets lonesome way out there


                             G7
Then I closed my eyes to the starlit skies

               C
Lost myself in dreams

              G7                C
I dreamed the desert sand was a milk-and-honey land

D7                    G7
Then I awoke with the dawn

          C                        F
There's a train coming back on the one-way track

         C       G7        C
Going to take me away from here


F                                     C
Ee oo ee dle dee dee ho oo lay dee ee dee

G7   F#   G7                              C
Ee   oo   ee dle dee dee ho ho lay dee ee dee
