Cowboys, for, Christmas

John Denver Christmas song - cigar box guitar tuned DGB- capoed 5 from G to CTall in the saddle, we spend Christmas Day, driving the cattle over snowcovered-plains.All of the good gifts given today, ours is the sky and the wide open range.Back in the cities they have different ways, football and eggnog and Christmasparades.I'll take my saddle, I'll take the reins, It's Christmas for cowboys wide-openplains.A campfire for warmth as we stop for the night, the stars overhead areChristmas tree lights.The wind sings a hymn as we bow down to pray, It's Christmas for cowboys,wide-open plains.Tall in the saddle we spend Christmas Day, driving the cattle oversnow-covered plains.All of the good gifts given today, ours is the sky and the wide open range.It's Christmas for cowboys, wide open plains.

Thanks for the nice singing and playing, video Christmas song/card! Great job as always! I think it's cool when you get into character! Nice hat and neck-kerchief (sp!)

Happy holidays to you and yours too Unc and I'll pass your greetings along to Rod.

Hi Uncle John.

That is a really nice version. Voice and instrument work together perfectly. Sounds just as good as it did when you posted it briefly in the Christmas Album thread last month ;^)

Thanks for your kind comments. This song is off John Denver's great Christmas album.

Yup, Clock is right, it was on youtube a little while back. Belinda you heard it there and commented.
