[Intro]
  Gm7     C7       F
A Western ranch is just a branch
   Gm7                 F
Of nowhere junction to me
Bb       F           Bb       F
Give the city, where living's pretty
        Gm7       C7  F
And the gals wear finery
 
 
[Verse]
F       Dm       F       Dm
East is east and west is west
        F         Dm     F       Dm
And the wrong one I have chose
Bb                  F       Bb      C9
Let's go where I'll keep on wearin' those
F          Dm          F          Am
Frills and flowers and buttons and bows
F         Bb         C       C7  F
Rings and things and buttons and bows
 
[Verse]
      F    Dm    F        Dm
Don't bury me in this prairie
        F         Dm     F       Dm
Take me where the cement grows
Bb                 F       Bb
Let's move down to some big town
      C9   F      Dm         F          Am
Where they love a gal by the cut of her clothes
    F            Bb     C       C7  F     Cm7
And You'll stand out in buttons and bows
 
[Bridge]
F7      Bb
   I'll love you in buckskin
                      F
Or skirts that you've homespun
         F
But I'll love you longer, stronger where
     G9            Dm7   G7  C7
Your friends don't tote  a   gun
 
[Verse]
   F        Dm        F         Dm
My bones denounce the buckboard bounce
        F      Dm       F       Dm
And the cactus hurts my toes
Bb                  F         Bb      C9
Let's vamoose where gals keep usin'
      F         Dm         F          Dm
Those silks and satins and linen that shows
    F          Bb       C       C7  F
And you're all mine in buttons and bows
 
[Verse]
      Gm7     C7             F
Gimme eastern trimmin' where women are women
   Gm7       C7       F
In high silk hose and peek-a-boo clothes
    Gm7       C7        F
And French perfume that rocks the room
    Gm7        C7                  F
And You're all mine in buttons and bows
C7          F     C7          F
Buttons and bows, buttons and bows
