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
