 G
 Get out of the way fat man.

 G
 You got something to do

 G
 Go fill up your hands

 G                         F
 till they're shining up at you.

 G
 You gotta get out

 G
 while there's gold in the air

 G
 It's falling like water,

 G                   F
 coming down from the hills.
C F F F C C C Gmaj C F F F C C C Gmaj [Chorus]
 G
 Go West young man

 G
 Earn a dollar a day

 G                    F
 just like your family said.

 G
 You're rolling your days

 G
 right on into the night

 G
 The head of the line's

 going way out of sight.

[Bridge]
 Em
 All along the wagons

 Am
 All along the dusty trail.

 Em             F           Em
 Seventeen years not over a day

 F
 Like children in the wild.

 Dm
 Your mother's milk still wet on your face

 Em
 And no one to pray for your safe journey home.

 Am
 Out beyond the desert

 Am
 Across the mountains by the fall.

 Em           Am          Em
 Servants who leave their masters house

 Em
 Are walking all the way.

 Dm
 The golden fields that beckoned you

 Em
 Are darkened by the years.

 G
 Go West Young Man

 G
 If you knew then

 G               F
 what you know today

 G
 You'd be back where you started

 G
 a happier man

 G
 And leave all the glory

 G                     F
 to those who have remained.

 C  F  F    F    C
 So Go West Young Man

 Go West Young Man,
