E A     ( x4 )



🎸 Verse 1:
E                   A
  Come out west and see
E                        A
  The best that it could be
    C#m                 A6
  I know you won't stay permanently
      E        A6       E
  But come out west and see

🎸 Verse 2:
E                   A
  I climb up on the rocks
E                        A
  And stretch out in the sun
      C#m               A6
  And close my eyes and let
      E   A6     E
  My imagination run

🎸 Verse 3:
E                  A
  I'm tracing your initials
E                    A
  In the shining sand
      C#m             A6
  I'm counting up the days
       E     A6       E
  Till I see you again

🎸 Chorus: 
  A                  G#m
  Who knows what the future holds
A                        B
  Or where the cards may fall?
         A                  G#m
  But if you don't come out west and see
A                      B7
  You'll never know at all

🎸 Verse 4:
E                   A
  I look off in the distance
E                  A
  And blow a kiss away
    C#m               A6
  A thousand miles between us
       E    A6       E
  Will disappear someday

🎸 Verse 5:
E                    A
  I watch as all the starlings
E                 A
  Fly in from the north
      C#m                    A6
  The beating of their wings
             E       A6          E
  Echoes the beating of my heart


🎸 Verse 6:
E                    A
  I sleep out in the desert
E                  A
  Under the stars above
      C#m                   A6
  And keep making an effort
     E      A6      E
  To wander in your love

🎸 Chorus: 
  A                  G#m
  Who knows what the future holds
A                        B
  Or where the cards may fall?
         A                  G#m
  But if you don't come out west and see
A                      B7
  You'll never know at all

🎸 Verse 7:
E                   A
  Come out west and see
E                        A
  The best that it could be
    C#m                 A6
  I know you won't stay permanently
      E        A6       E
  But come out west and see
