I'm look-ing rath-er seed-y now

  4    -4   4   4   -3'  4
  7    -8   7   7   -6   7
While hold-ing down my claim

 4  4   4   4    5   5  -6  6
 7  7   7   7    8   8 -10  9
And my vit-tles are not al-ways

As I nes-tle down to rest

Oh, the hing-es are of leath-er

And the win-dows have no glass

 4    4     4    4

The boards they let 

 4   -6   6   5    5   -4

The howl-ing bliz-zard in

 5  -5   6   6  -6   6   6   5
 8  -9   9   9  -10  9   9   8
You can see the hun-gry coy-ote

-4 4    -4   4  4  -3'   4
-8 7    -8   7  7  -6    7
As he slinks up in the grass

'Round my lit-tle old sod shan-ty

5  -4   4

On my claim
