The New Wild West chords by Jewel (Ver. 2)

Guitar chords with lyrics

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Key: D

Difficulty: Novice

Verse 1:
 Dm
You see the ghosts of the buffalo

Moving both fierce and slow
  D
Like glittering prophesies

On the edge of the horizon
   Dm
As you drive glittering highways

🎸

Accuracy Rating: - Votes: -

And beaten-up by-ways
  D
That straddle and girdle

A great and many-faced nation
 Dm
You see lambs in the ghettos

Who worship their Gepettos
  D
Believing in, though never seeing

The strings they think bind them
  Dm
So you write to our congressmen

With bleeding pens
Dm
Of the sorrow within

And in return they just send
                                        D
Tickets to the latest Tom Hanks show


Chorus:
 F             G         Dm
Welcome to the new wild west
 F    G           D
Each man for himself
F          G
Civilized steeples
      C      G
And lonely people
 F             G         Dm
Welcome to the new wild west


Verse 2:
          Dm
There are so many factions

And cue-card reactions
Dm
It's hard to keep clear

The possibilities here
                            D
'Cause there's no force to unite them
   Dm
Privilege has ruled for thousands of years

Wars have been fought with bibles and tears
Dm
Yet liberation can't deny the temptation
                       D
And soon becomes the oppressor
 Dm
Show me a leader who's fit to lead

Who don't sow his seed in anything

Wounded enough to breed

Because after all what fun is power
                         D
If you can't act like a rock star?


Chorus:
 F             G         Dm
Welcome to the new wild west
 F    G           D
Each man for himself
F          G
Civilized steeples
      C      G
And lonely people
 F              G
Welcome to the new-


Instrumental:
Am           F           G
La la da da, la la la la da da x4


Verse 3:
    Dm
See me, I've been cruel

I've been petty and unkind
Dm
But I know my own mind

And since it seems clear
Dm
There's no one leading us here

The only thing left it appears
                                        D
Is to task ourselves to be better each time

Then those before us
      Dm
We'll be an army of theives

Of self-freed slaves
Dm
Of mild-mannered maids

We'll fight with whispers and blades
                           D
So get ready, a new day is dawning


Chorus:
 F             G         Dm
Welcome to the new wild west
 F    G           D
Each man for himself
F          G
Civilized steeples
      C      G
And lonely people
 F             G         Dm
Welcome to the new wild west
