The Wild West Is Where I Wanna Be
by Tom Lehrer

 Bb7      Eb6
Along the trail you'll find me lopin'
          Ab6             Eb6
Where the spaces are wide open,
Ebdim  Eb          C6      F     Bb7
In the land of the old A.E.C. (yea-hah!)
          Eb
Where the scenery's attractive,
Eb7     Ab           F7
And the air is radio-active,
        Bb7                        Eb  Edim  Bb7
Oh, the wild west is where I wanna be.

        Eb6
Mid the sagebrush and the cactus,
     Ab6              Eb
I'll watch the fellas practice
Ebdim    Eb                C7           F7   Bb7
Droppin' bombs through the clean desert breeze.
          Eb
I'll have on my sombrero,
Eb7    Ab                 F7
And of course I'll wear a pair o'
      Bb7              Eb6  Ab  Abm6  Eb
Levis over my lead B.V.D.'s.

Eb7    Ab
I will leave the city's rush,
Bb7       Eb    Bbm6    C7
Leave the fancy and the plush,
          Fm7      Fm7-5     Bb7
Leave the snow and leave the slush
        Eb
And the crowds.
Eb7    Ab
I will seek the desert's hush,
bB7       Eb   Bbm6  C7
Where the scenery is lush,
      F7
How I long to see the mush-
     Bb7
Room clouds.

         Eb6
'mid the yuccas and the thistles
     Ab6              Eb
I'll watch the guided missiles,
Ebdim     Eb      C7         F7      Bb7
While the old F.B.I. watches me. (yea-hah!)
          Eb
Yes, I'll soon make my appearance
Eb7      Ab           F7
(soon as I can get my clearance),
           Bb7                        Eb6   AB   Abm6   Eb
'cause the wild west is where I wanna be.
