 Intro: C Am Dm G C
 
 C                               
 Anot a broke horse on the place,
 F                    Dm 
 My pickup truck wont go,
 C                        Dm           G   
 The tractor lost a wheel about a week ago,
 C                         
 The wind is from the east,
 C       F               Dm     
 Blowing hard across the plains,
 C           Am       Dm      G     C      
 Im high and lonesome waiting for a change.
 
 (Chorus)
 C                  F                                   
 Just give me one broke horse with a good fittin saddle,
 C                       
 Thats easy on your back,
 F                                          
 One good woman who makes up the difference,
 C                     
 For everything I lack,
 Am                 G              
 One last chance to sell my calves,
 C                             F    
 Before the prices go to hell again,
 C           Am  Dm       G         C    
 Clear blue skieseighteen inches of rain.
 
 C                        
 The coffees kinda bitter,
        F            Dm  
 is the water or the pot?
 C Until I get to town,
          Dm             G   
 Ill make do with what I got,
 C                           
 The Copenhagen's runnin' low
          F            Dm 
 I should quit it anyways,
 C                Am    
 Me and this old outfit,
      Dm        G      C    
 Have both seen better days.
 
 (Repeat Chorus Twice)
 
 C                       Am    
 Just give me clear blue skies,
 Dm       G         C    
 eighteen inches of rain.
 C                       Am    
 Just give me clear blue skies,
 Dm       G         C    
 eighteen inches of rain.
