Verse 1:
   G+G             Am7Am7
I was thirsty, I was lost, I was hanging on a cross
   D7D7               C majorC G+G
I was dying to make it back, to Colora-do
G+G            Am7Am7
Bones in a saddle, I was weary from the battle
  D7D7               C majorC G+G
The path was much too difficult to fo-llow

Chorus 1:
    G+G           C majorC
Come on Utah, get me over that hill
    D7D7                     C majorC         G+G
We got ten more miles, gonna turn that dial and we never coming back again
    G+G            C majorC
Come on Utah, race me over that ledge
    D7D7                 C majorC     G+G
I wanna see my son and carry my gun, like a real American

Verse 2:
  G+G                 Am7Am7
The war had come and gone, and all the lost ones had moved on,
      D7D7              C majorC  G+G
They would gather on the hill, to tell a sto-ry
 G+G             Am7Am7
Utah! was his name, with a calico mane
    D7D7             C majorC  G+G
He was shot out of a cannon in the mor-ning
    G+G              Am7Am7
Well he sauntered to my side, and I fell into his eyes
  D7D7              C majorC G+G
And in them I saw fire mixed with mu-sic
   G+G               Am7Am7
So I climbed up on his back, and we lighted down the track
   D7D7                   C majorC  G+G
And I yelled his name out so loud, everybody knew it

Chorus 2:
        G+G            C majorC
I said, Come on Utah, race me over that hill
  D7D7            C majorC     G+G
Albuquerque, Santa Fe, and on up the Rio Grande
    G+G            C majorC
Come on Utah, race me over that hill
   D7D7                   C majorC       G+G
I’m a weary mile, I’m a jealous child, I got sunshine on my skin

Bridge:
    C majorC
But the hill is steep, and my arms are weak
    C/C#
And I’m out of breath and there’s nothing left
     C majorC
But this wind at my back, water in my pack
   D7D7
And a horse with a will like a cannon

Break:
G+G   Am7Am7  D7D7  C majorC  G+G
G MajorG          Am7Am7  D7D7  C majorC  G+G
Wooo! Come on Utah!

Outro:
   G+G             C majorC
I was thirsty, I was lost, I was hanging on a cross
   D7D7               C majorC G+G
I was dying to make it back, to Colora-do
