The Wild West Is Where I Wanna Be
by Tom Lehrer

 Bb7Bb7   Eb6Eb6
Along the trail you'll find me lopin'
     Ab6Ab6       Eb6Eb6
Where the spaces are wide open,
EbdimEbdim Eb MajorEb     C6C6   FF   Bb7Bb7
In the land of the old A.E.C. (yea-hah!)
     Eb MajorEb
Where the scenery's attractive,
Eb7Eb7   AbAb      F7F7
And the air is radio-active,
    Bb7Bb7            Eb MajorEb EdimEdim Bb7Bb7
Oh, the wild west is where I wanna be.

    Eb6Eb6
Mid the sagebrush and the cactus,
   Ab6Ab6       Eb MajorEb
I'll watch the fellas practice
EbdimEbdim  Eb MajorEb        C7C7      F7F7  Bb7Bb7
Droppin' bombs through the clean desert breeze.
     Eb MajorEb
I'll have on my sombrero,
Eb7Eb7  AbAb         F7F7
And of course I'll wear a pair o'
   Bb7Bb7       Eb6Eb6 AbAb Abm6Abm6 Eb MajorEb
Levis over my lead B.V.D.'s.

Eb7Eb7  AbAb
I will leave the city's rush,
Bb7Bb7    Eb MajorEb  Bbm6Bbm6  C7C7
Leave the fancy and the plush,
     Fm7Fm7   Fm7-5   Bb7Bb7
Leave the snow and leave the slush
    Eb MajorEb
And the crowds.
Eb7Eb7  AbAb
I will seek the desert's hush,
bB7    Eb MajorEb  Bbm6Bbm6 C7C7
Where the scenery is lush,
   F7F7
How I long to see the mush-
   Bb7Bb7
Room clouds.

     Eb6Eb6
'mid the yuccas and the thistles
   Ab6Ab6       Eb MajorEb
I'll watch the guided missiles,
EbdimEbdim   Eb MajorEb   C7C7     F7F7   Bb7Bb7
While the old F.B.I. watches me. (yea-hah!)
     Eb MajorEb
Yes, I'll soon make my appearance
Eb7Eb7   AbAb      F7F7
(soon as I can get my clearance),
      Bb7Bb7            Eb6Eb6  AB  Abm6Abm6  Eb MajorEb
'cause the wild west is where I wanna be.
