I hope I am doing this right. (Don't laugh, just post corrections)

THE SIERRY PETES

note = ca. 208 (half = ca. 104)

(Bbm) Way up high in the Sierry Petes
Where the yeller pines grow (Fm) tall
Ole Sandy Bob an' Buster Jig
Had a (F7) rodeer camp last (Bbm) fall.
Chords from Katie Lee, Ten Thousand Goddam Cattle, p. 225.

A-(D) way up high in in the Sierry Petes

Away (Eb) up high in the Sirey Peaks
Where mountain pines grow (Bb7) tall
