Verse 1:
               G         D 
I said I wanna touch the earth 
        Em             C
I wanna break it in my hands
        G              Em          D
I wanna grow something wild and unruly
        G                 D
I wanna sleep on the hard ground
       Em              C
In the comfort of your arms
     G              Em
On a pillow of blue bonnets
     C               D
In a blanket made of stars


Bridge:
      Em     G       D
Oh it sounds good to me


Chorus:
              G    C   D 
I said Cowboy take me away
                 Em
Fly this girl as high as you can
  C           D
Into the wild blue
       G    C    D
Set me free oh I pray
          Em 
Closer to heaven above and
C         D              G C D  G C D
Closer to you  closer to you...


Verse 2:
        G            D
I wanna walk and not run
        Em           C
I wanna skip and not fall
        G           Em
I wanna look at the horizon 
        C              D
And not see a building standing tall
        Em          D
I wanna be the only one
    Em        C
For miles and miles
  Em              Em
Except for maybe you 
C               D
And your simple smile


Bridge:
      C      G       D
Oh it sounds good to me
       C         G       D
Yes it sounds so good to me


Chorus:
       G    C   D 
Cowboy take me away
                 Em
Fly this girl as high as you can
  C           D
Into the wild blue
       G    C    D
Set me free oh I pray
          Em 
Closer to heaven above and
C         D             G C D  G C D
Closer to you closer to you...


Verse 3:
# [Strum each chord only once]
D              Em    D   G 
I said I wanna touch the earth 
        Em             C
I wanna break it in my hands
        Em             D          Em   C
I wanna grow something wild and unruly


Bridge:

      C      G      D
Oh it sounds good to me

       G    C   D 
Cowboy take me away

Fly this girl as high as you can
  C           D
Into the wild blue
       G    C    D
Set me free oh I pray
          Em 
Closer to heaven above and
