[Verse 1]
G Cm6/G G Out to the west there's a trail that leads somewhere G Cm6/G G And a call of the wild that takes some people there G Cm6/G G Through Monument Valley to California sun G Cm6/G | G | % | % | % | From New Amsterdam to the way the west was won
[Bridge]
Fadd9 C G Well, years will go by when you won't get nowhere Fadd9 C | G | % | % | % | % | % | You're cold and you're tired and you're free and you don't care
[Verse 2]
G Cm6/G G You keep pushin' on when your friends keep turning back G Cm6/G G And you keep building towns and laying railroad track G Cm6/G G And things get crazy and you have to use that gun G Cm6/G G And you wonder if this is the way the west is won
[Bridge]
Fadd9 C G But keep thinkin' that way and you won't get nowhere Fadd9 C G 'Cause you got a right just to get where you're goin' to
[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
G Cm6/G G You keep on the move or you try to settle down G Cm6/G G And there's strangers from further and further away in town G Cm6/G G And you give them some tools and they know what must be done G Cm6/G G And you know who's the boss and you know the west was won
[Bridge]
Fadd9 C G And they say: Where I come from, you can't get nowhere Fadd9 C G I'm breaking my back for some opportunity
[Chorus]
Fadd9 C Making my fortune and I'll take it all home Bb Dm C | G | % | % | % | Tell my kids about the wi-ld west
[Middle 8]
Am7 Bm7 C D Dsus4 And there's still beauty as the flowers bloom on desert sands Am7 Bm7 C D Dsus4 And there's still hope as the sun rises over the Rio Grande Am7 Bm7 C D But it's so crowded now and nothing's simple anymore Cadd9 | Cadd9 | % | Gadd9 | % | And they're still knocking at your door

[Verse 4]
G Cm6/G G You hear guns in the night and you hope they're not for you G Cm6/G G 'Cause a dog eats a dog then he eats his master too G Cm6/G G In the land of the free and the not so often brave G Cm6/G | G | % | % | % | There's both love or money now choose which you will save
[Bridge]
Fadd9 C G But keep thinkin' that way and you won't get nowhere Fadd9 C G 'Cause you got a right just to get where you're goin' to
[Chorus]
Fadd9 C Gotta keep runnin', gotta be the best Bb Dm C | G | % | Gotta walk tall in the wi-ld west
[Bridge]
Fadd9 C G Keep thinkin' that way and you won't get nowhere Fadd9 C G 'Cause you got a right just to get where you're goin' to
