[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
G
I was born and raised in the ghettoTalk with me and you'll know
C G I wasn't satisfied, with living on the side C I started looking around, for a possibility G D G Listen to my story, of what became of me G I met a businessman, who said he had some friends back east C G So why don't you come along, well we can help you at least C We'll make you into a big star, by playing your guitar G D G But the joke was on me, they left me flat, you see
[Chorus]
D Going back west C G Yes, I know I'll make out alright D Going back west C G Where my music's playing all night C D Going back west (going back west) G I think I'll do alright
[Chorus]
D Going back west C G Yes, I know I'll make out alright D Going back West C G Where my music's playing all night C D Going back west (going back west) G I think I'll do alright
[Verse 2]
G Struggling for recognition, identity and respect C G I got a lot of promises, they told me not to fret C Said we will stand by you, if the going gets rough G D G But when I started thinking, they didn't even bluff
(Key change to Ab, half step up)
[Verse 3]
Ab 'bout a year has come and gone, and left me standing here Db Ab Thinking how it could have been, for still I ain't nowhere Db They surely took me for a ride, trampled on my pride Ab Eb Ab But I hold my head up high, got no more tears to cry
[Chorus]
Eb Going back west Db Ab Yes, I know I'll make out alright Eb Going back west Db Ab Where my music's playing all night Db Eb Going back west (going back west) Ab I think I'll do alright
[Outro]
Db Eb Going back west (going back west) Ab I think I'll do alright
