Chords with lyrics
Austin Lucas - Go West
Standard E-tuning
Capo V (but i play it with Capo II, sounds better i think)
Intro: D MajorD
F# minorF#m
Oh no malice does exist
B minorBm G+G
in these words I am now writing
E minorEm
Although one might catch
A augmentedA
the faintest glance at sorrow
B minorBm
I'm but trying hard to grasp
G+G
all these fragments as they're passing
E minorEm
Piece the puzzle now
A augmentedA
before the trail grows cold
G+G
And I'm not asking for the answers
F# minorF#m
in mathematical equations
E minorEm D MajorD
to be culled and calculated
G+G
by unbiased hands
G+G
For at truth I am so stricken
A augmentedA
And I dare only to forever dance
D MajorD G+G
Which proves I am the better broken half
A augmentedA D MajorD
Oh and I am but the bitter better half
Bridge: D MajorD (play Intro and some tricky hammers :-))
D MajorD F# minorF#m
In my callous speculations
B minorBm G+G
They leave no room for calm or reason
E minorEm A augmentedA
I have placed myself in altars that are hollow
B minorBm
So adept at finding weakness
G+G
I smell fear and close my fists
E minorEm A augmentedA
Unaware the stench I'm smelling is my own
G+G
So yeah, you left me and I'm bitter
F# minorF#m
And my pride is shocked and raw
E MajorE G+G
For I believe I will be changing roads no more
G+G
I know that life is full of dead ends
A augmentedA
But I saw us as a highway
D MajorD G+G
Ever stretching on from coast to golden coast
A augmentedA
Oh, but now instead I'm singin'
Refrain:
D MajorD A augmentedA
Go west, Emily
G+G A augmentedA
Grab your boots and find yourself somewhere
D MajorD A augmentedA G+G
I'll find another lover in the east
D MajorD A augmentedA
I said go west, Emily
B minorBm G+G
Yeah you know you've got my blessing
D MajorD A augmentedA G+G
But you can't expect these eyes of mine
D MajorD
to watch you leave
F# minorF#m
So with no malice I'll begin
B minorBm G+G
just once more to tell our story
E minorEm A augmentedA
Though the ending I may never hope to know
B minorBm
You were a sweet and sound companion
G+G
Though our paths led us apart
E minorEm A augmentedA
And I may never sleep so soundly as I did while in your arms
G+G F# minorF#m
Now all I ask is you remember who you loved and who you lost
E minorEm D MajorD
Please don't bury me in silence
G+G
Or blackest shroud of thought
G+G A augmentedA
Don't pretend that what we had was any less than what it was
D MajorD G+G
For I will not soon be forgetting the reasons why
A augmentedA
we fought so hard to make it work
Refrain:
D MajorD A augmentedA
But Go west, Emily
G+G A augmentedA
Grab your boots and find yourself somewhere
D MajorD A augmentedA G+G
I'll find another lover in the east
D MajorD A augmentedA
I said go west, Emily
B minorBm G+G
Yeah you know you've got my blessing
D MajorD A augmentedA G+G
But you can't expect these eyes of mine
D MajorD
to watch you leave
to watch you leave
D MajorD A augmentedA
Go west, Emily
G+G A augmentedA
Grab your boots and find yourself somewhere
D MajorD A augmentedA G+G
I'll find another lover in the east
D MajorD A augmentedA
I said go west, Emily
B minorBm G+G
Yeah you know you've got my blessing
D MajorD A augmentedA G+G
But you can't expect these eyes of mine
D MajorD
to watch you leave
