Ian Tyson I Outgrew the Wagon Lyrics:
[Key C# (capo 1st, play C)]

[C F C]
I was broke in Wickenburg in the spring of ‘ 77.
[G7]
Things were lean for buffalo and me.
[C F C]
So I called up Harold Munsen over Battle Mountain way
[G7 C]
The TS wagon was pullin’ out on the fifteenth day of May.

I was no stranger to the wagon back when I was 21,
The IAL, the YP, the Circle K.
So I hocked my shoein’ outfit. We filled that Chevvy’s tank.

Gas was 50 cents a gallon in those days.

[Chorus:]
[F C]
I outgrew the wagon and more let me tell you why.
[Am F G7]
Your tipi’s like an oven at times and your bed ain’t never dry.
[C F]
It was nearly mid-November ‘fore the work was finally through
[C G7 C]
And at fifteen below zero, you’d outrun that wagon too.

Now, don’t you misunderstand me. There were lots of good times too.
I would not change a single memory.
Like the time we tied old Blackie up in cold Coyote Creek.
We were young and wild, like the horses we rode.
The days stretched endlessly.

[Chorus]
