Wild West Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G]

[Verse 1]
Out to the west there's [G]a trail
that leads somewhere
And a call of the wild that takes
some people there
Through Monument Valley
to Cali[Cm]forni[G]a sun
From New Amsterdam to the

[Verse 2]
way the West was won
[G]
Well [F]years will go by when you
[C]won't get [G]nowhere
You're [F]cold and you're tired
and you're [C]free and you don't [G]care
You keep pushin' on when your
friends keep turning back
You keep building towns
and laying railroad track

[Verse 3]
And things get crazy [G]and
you have to use that sun
And you wonder if this is the
way the West is won
But [F]keep thinkin' that way and you
[C]won't get [G]nowhere
'Cause [F]you got a right just to [C]get
where you're goin' [G]to
[F]Gotta keep runnin' gotta

[Verse 4]
[C]be the best
[Bb]Gotta walk tall in the [D]Wild [C]Wes[G]t[A]
[Bm][C][D][Em][F]
[G]
[Cm][G]
You keep on the move or

[Verse 5]
you try to settle down
[G]
And there's strangers from further
and further away in town
And you give them some tools and
they know what must be done
And you know the West was won
And they say [F]. . .

[Verse 6]
Where I come from, [F]you
can't [C]get [G]nowhere
I'm breaking [F]my back for
some op[C]por[D]tun[G] ity
[F]Making [G]my for[F]tune and
I'll take [C]it all home
[Bb]Tell my kids about the [C]Wild [G]West

[Verse 7]
[Am]
And there's still [Bm]beauty as the flowers
[C]bloom on des[D]ert sands[Am]
And there's still [Bm]hope as the sun
[C]rises over the [D]Rio [Am]Grande
But it's so [Bm]crowded now
and noth[C]ing's simple [D]anymore
[C]And they're still knocking at[G]

[Interlude 1]
your door
[C][G][C][G]

[Verse 8]
You hear [G]guns in the night and you
hope they're not for you
'Cause a dog eats a dog then
he eats his master too
In the land of the free and the
not so often brave
There's both love or money now
choose which you will save

[Verse 9]
But... [G]keep thinkin' [F]that way and
you won't get [C]nowhere[G]
'Cause [F]you got a right just to [C]get
where you're goin' [G]to
Gotta keep [F]runnin' gotta [C]be the best
[Bb]Gotta walk tall in the [D]Wild [C]Wes[G]t

[Outro 1]
