Wish  I  was

            Dsus4 D  G
a wild west he    -  ro
[Verse 1]
G             Em
  Sometimes I look up high

           Cmaj7
And then I think there might,

     Aadd9 A       Dsus4  D
Just be   a better li  -  fe

G           Em
  Away from all we know

               Cmaj7
That's where I wanna go

Oh oh oh oh oh, a wild west he -  -  - ro.

D        G             D       
Ride the range all the day

         Em           B
Till the first fading light

        C          G
Be with my western girl

          A7         D
Round the fire oh so bright

           G        D
I'd be the indians' friend

         Em         B
Let them live to be free

       C        G
Ridin' into the sunset

  Am   Cm    G 
I wish might be.
[Bridge] C7 G7 A7 Eb D [Verse 2]
G             Em  
 I'd ride the desert sands

                Cmaj7
And through the prairie lands

Aadd9    A          Dsus4 D
Tryin' to do what's   right

G                Em7    
 The folks would come to me

              Cmaj7
They'd say we need you here

    Aadd9    A         Dsus4 D  
I'd stay there for the night,

Ridin' into the sunset
