Eb                               Bb
Seen him playing in his backyard
Ab                               Eb
Young boy just starting out
Bb                               Cm
So much history in this landscape
Db                                        Bb/D  Bb7
So much confusion so much doubt
 
Eb                                         Bb
I've been there drinking on that front porch
Ab                              Eb
Angry kids mean and dumb
Bb                                          Cm
Looks like the pain in that blue skyline
Db                                           G7
God hates fags where we come from
 
Ab                 Eb
Western sky, don't make it right
Bb             G7/B                         Cm
Home of the brave, don't make no sense
                  G7/F
I've seen a scarecrow wrapped in wire 
          Cm/G
Left to die on a high ridge fence
                        Fm7
It's a cold cold wind
                       Eb/G
It's a cold cold wind 
                      Cm6/A G7/B
It's a cold wind blowing

See two coyotes running down the deer
They knew what we don't understand
You pioneers give up your children
Db                                              G7
But it's your blood that stains their hands
 
Western skies, don't make it right (...)
 
G7/F                                      Cm/G
Somewhere the road forks up ahead
G7/F                    Cm/G
To ignorance and innocence
Ab                                    Bb
Three lives drift on different winds 
              G7/B              Cm   Cm/Bb
Two lives ruined one life spent
 
Western sky, don't make it right (...)
 
                        Fm7
It's a cold cold wind
                      Eb/G
It's a cold cold wind
                          Cm6/A G7/B
It's a cold wind blowing
Cm   Ab
