(Entire song is played folk style)
Intro: C D G-C-G
G C
G-C-G
Well I'd rather be walking through the tall pine trees high up above Lake Louise
G C G-C-G
And I'd rather be chasing after shooting stars than waiting for this dumb
503 TTC
C D G-C-G
I'd like to see the sun set behind Saddle Mountain
C D G-C-G
And listen to the wind whisper my name
C D
Yeah this world and me don't fit
G G/F# Em
One of us is going to have to quit
C D G-C-G
Oh how I miss those western skies
And I'd rahter be back in the Rocky Mountains than sitting in some bar on
Queen Street
And I'd rather be back in the high meadows than watching the latest war on my TV
So please don't you stand in my way
I just got to get out of this place
If I waste another day I'm sure
The sun will forget my name
Oh how I miss those western skies
F C G-C-G
Oh to see the sunset in her eyes
F C D
Oh to see the sunshine in her eyes
And I'd rather be lying by the bow river watching the clouds go by
Yea I'd rather be anywhere else than here tonight stuck in the city
But through the pain good things will come
After the rain the sun
But that don't mean much to me
Stuck in the city
Oh how I miss those western skies
C D Bm Em
Oh how I miss, Oh how I miss
C D C G
Oh how I miss those western skies

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official BLUE RODEO tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
