“Don’t Fence Me In” – Cole Porter
[Chords by Joan’s Genius 2008}
This is my most favorite song. The chords below are based on my 2 favorite covers of this:
(1) a very slow & quiet blues rendition by Holly Cole &
(2) a very fast & lively cajun version by David Byrne.
* I ve revised this to include the intros (about Wildcat Kelley) that are in the original version. Feel free
to sing it with or without these sections.
“Don’t Fence Me In”
Wildcat Kelley, lookin mighty pale
Was standing by the sheriff’s side
And when the sheriff said, “I’m sending you to jail”
Wildcat raised his head and cried
Oh, give me land, lots of land under starry skies above
Don t fence me in
Let me ride through the wide-open country that I love
Don t fence me in
Oh let me be by myself in the evening breeze
Listen to the murmur of the cottonwood trees
Send me off forever, but I ask you, please
Don t fence me in
Just let me loose // Let me straddle my old saddle underneath the western skies
On my cayuse // Let me wonder over yonder till I see the mountains rise
I want to ride to the ridge where the West commences
Gaze at the moon until I lose my senses // Can t look at hobbles & I can t stand fences
Don t fence me in
(Solo)
Wildcat Kelley, back again in town
Was standin by his sweetheart’s side
And when his sweetheart said, “come on, let’s settle down”
Wildcat raised his head and cried
(repeat from “Oh give me land”)
Don t fence me in!
