VERSE
G                         Cm6/G                G
Out to the west there's a trail that leads somewhere
      G                     Cm6/G             G
And a call of the wild that takes some people there
        G                  Cm6/G      G
Through Monument Valley to California sun
     G                    Cm6/G           | G | % | % | % |
From New Amsterdam to the way the west was won


BRIDGE
      Fadd9                     C           G
Well, years will go by when you won't get nowhere
       Fadd9                            C                 | G | % | % | % | % | % |
You're cold and you're tired and you're free and you don't care


VERSE
    G                         Cm6/G                G
You keep pushin' on when your friends keep turning back
        G                       Cm6/G           G
And you keep building towns and laying railroad track
    G                        Cm6/G            G
And things get crazy and you have to use that gun
        G                     Cm6/G           G
And you wonder if this is the way the west is won


BRIDGE
    Fadd9                          C           G
But keep thinkin' that way and you won't get nowhere
       Fadd9                   C                      G
'Cause you got a right just to get where you're goin' to


CHORUS
Fadd9                     C
Gotta keep runnin', gotta be the best
Bb                     Dm C  | G | % | % | % |
Gotta walk tall in the wi-ld west

VERSE
    G                       Cm6/G         G
You keep on the move or you try to settle down
            G                          Cm6/G           G
And there's strangers from further and further away in town
        G                             Cm6/G             G
And you give them some tools and they know what must be done
        G                           Cm6/G             G
And you know who's the boss and you know the west was won


BRIDGE
              Fadd9                  C           G
And they say: Where I come from, you can't get nowhere
    Fadd9                     C        G
I'm breaking my back for some opportunity


CHORUS
Fadd9                      C
Making my fortune and I'll take it all home
Bb                     Dm C  | G | % | % | % |
Tell my kids about the wi-ld west


MIDDLE 8
Am7                Bm7           C                D      Dsus4
 And there's still beauty as the flowers bloom on desert sands
Am7                Bm7             C              D   Dsus4
 And there's still hope as the sun rises over the Rio Grande
Am7          Bm7             C                D
 But it's so crowded now and nothing's simple anymore
Cadd9                              |  Cadd9 | % | Gadd9 | % |
  And they're still knocking at your door

VERSE
         G                         Cm6/G                G
You hear guns in the night and you hope they're not for you
         G                      Cm6/G           G
'Cause a dog eats a dog then he eats his master too
       G                        Cm6/G        G
In the land of the free and the not so often brave
        G                      Cm6/G                | G | % | % | % |
There's both love or money now choose which you will save


BRIDGE
    Fadd9                          C           G
But keep thinkin' that way and you won't get nowhere
       Fadd9                   C                      G
'Cause you got a right just to get where you're goin' to
