F 
There's a place out west
where the Powder River
rolls off the Bighorn Mountains
C 
and winds its way out across
F 
the plains.
G 
F 
It's a land of red walls, blue sky,
C 
and clean air.
F 
Where the eagle glides
G 
high above the canyons
F 
C 
and makes his nest in the rocks
F 
that overlook the valleys
G 
where the sagebrush and
the cottonwoods grow.
F 
C 
this is ranch country,
F 
G 
has been for more than a hundred years,
F 
C 
but things have changed some
since the early days,
F 
G 
but there's still a thread of character
F 
and tradition
C 
that runs true from one
F 
generation to the next.
You can see it in the way
folks out here set a horse,
C 
F 
you can hear it in the way they talk,
G 
and when the work's all done
F 
C 
there's nothing they like better  than to get to
F 
gether at the one -room schoolhouse
G 
under the red wall
F 
C 
for another down -home,
