Tall in the saddle we spend Christmas day C G D7 Em 
Drivin' the cattle on the snow-covered plains. C G D7 G 
All of the good gifts given today; C G D7 Em 
Ours is the sky and the wide open range. C G D7 G 
 
Back in the cities, they have different ways, Football and eggnog and  
Christmas parades. I'll take the blanket; I'll take the reins; Christmas  
for Cowboys and wide open plains.  
 
A campfire for warmth as we stop for the night; The stars overhead are the  
Christmas-tree lights. The wind sings a hymn as we bow down to pray;  
Christmas for Cowboys and the wide open plains. 
 
It's tall in the saddle we spend Christmas Day, Drivin' the cattle on the  
snow-covered plains. So many gifts have been opened today; Ours is the sky  
and the wide open range. It's Christmas for Cowboys and wide open plains.
