American pioneer song
Key: D

-7 -7 -7 -8 -7 -7 -6*-6*
I’m look-ing rath-er seed-y now
-5 6 -5 -5 -4 -5
While hold-ing down my claim
-5 -5 -5 -5 -6* -6* -8 -7
And my vit-tles are not al-ways
-6* -6* 6
Served the best
-6* 7 -7 -7 -8 -7 -7 -6*
And the mice play shy-ly ‘round me
-6*-5 6 -5 -5 -4 -5
As I nes-tle down to rest
-5 6 -6* -7 -7 -6* 6 7
In my lit-tle old sod shan-ty
-6* 6 -5
In the West
6 -6* 7 7 7 7 -8 -8
Oh, the hing-es are of leath-er
-8 -8 -8 -7 -7 -6* -7
And the win-dows have no glass
-5 -5 -5 -5
The boards they let
-5 -8 -7 -6* -6* 6
The howl-ing bliz-zard in
-6* 7 -7 -7 -8 -7 -7 -6*
You can see the hun-gry coy-ote
6 -5 6 -5 -5 -4 -5
As he slinks up in the grass
-5 6 -6* -7 -7 -6* 6 7
‘Round my lit-tle old sod shan-ty
-6* 6 -5
On my claim
