Going back west Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]I was born and raised in the ghetto
Talk with me and you'll know
[C]I wasn't satisfied with
living on [G]the side
I started looking around for a possibility
[C]But listen to my story,
[G]of [D]what became of me
[G]

[Verse 2]
I met a businessman
Who said he got some friends back East
[C]Said, "Why don't you come along?
Well we could help you at [G]least"
"Make you into a big star
By playing your gui[C]tar"
But the joke was [G]on me
[D]They left me flat to see
[G]

[Verse 3]
Going back [D]West
(Going back West)
Yes I [C]know, I'll make out al[G]right
Going back [D]West
(Going back West)
Where my mu[C]sic's playing [G]all night
Going back [C]West
[D](Going back West)
Think I'll do alright
[G]

[Verse 4]
Struggling for recognition,
identity and respect
[C]I got a lot of promises,
they told me not to [G]fret
Said, "We will stand by you
If the going gets [C]rough"
But when I started sink[G]ing
[D]They didn't even bluff
[G]

[Verse 5]
Going back [D]West
(Going back West)
Yes I [C]know, I'll make out [G]alright
Going back [D]West
(Going back West)
Where my mu[C]sic's playing all [G]night
Going back [C]West
(Going back West)
[D]I think, I'll do alright
[G]

[Verse 6]
'Bout [Ab]a year has come and gone
And left me standing [C#]here
Thinking how it could have been
'Cause still I ain't nowhere

They surely took me for a ride
Trampled on my [C#]pride
But I'll hold my head [Ab]up high
[Eb]Got no more tears to cry
