G 
She was paintin' a picture of slum life 
C               D               G 
When the cowboy came limpin' by 
C                    D                   G 
Wearin' tattered old boots with one sole gone 
G                              D 
And a far away look in his eye 
G 
Well, he watched for a while as she painted 
C                                  D          G 
And then he said, "Mama you surely paint well 
C                     D              G 
Yes, you got all this on your canvas 
G                                  D 
The dirt the squalor and the hell" 
G 
Well, she asked to paint him in the setting 
C                         D          G 
Ah, but he shook his head slowly and low 
        C             D                G 
He said "naw, I won't fit your picture 
    C    D                           G 
Un- less you can paint me back home" 

Chorus 
        G                             G7 
Can you paint me back home in Wyoming 
       C               D          G 
Riding free 'neath the big sky a- bove 
C           D           G 
Free as the wind on the prairie 
Am                      D 
Out in the hills that I love 
  G                           G7 
I long to get back to Wyoming 
         C               D            G 
And I've hoped all these years that I can 
       C             D            G 
Please paint me back home on your canvas 
         C           D        G 
Paint me back in Wy- oming a- gain 

(Talking) 
G                                        G7 
Well, I never claimed this festered city 
         C                 D                     G 
You know I was raised on a ranch out in the west 
C                      D              G 
I spent my young years bustin' horses 
                  G                          D 
And boy they said I could ride with the best 
G                                       G7 
So I came here to Madison Square Garden 
C              D         G 
To ride in the big rodeo 
C                     D          G 
Ah? but I got stepped on and all crippled up 
    G                                  D 
And chute, bronc bustin' is all I know 
G                                           G7 
Ah, boy if I could just get back to Wyoming 
C               D        G 
I wouldn't feel so alone 
C                       D                    G 
Ah, but the pain is too much for the roamin' 
   C              D                  G 
So please can you paint me back home 

Chorus 
        G                             G7 
Can you paint me back home in Wyoming 
       C               D          G 
Riding free 'neath the big sky a- bove 
C           D           G 
Free as the wind on the prairie 
Am                      D 
Out in the hills that I love 
  G                           G7 
I long to get back to Wyoming 
         C               D            G 
And I've hoped all these years that I can 
       C             D            G 
Please paint me back home on your canvas 
         C           D        G 
Paint me back in Wy- oming a- gain 

Tag 
         C           D        G 
Paint me back in Wy- oming a- gain
