[Verse]
      E                                A
I was looking for America in a western movie

      C#m                                  A
Saw a young gunslinger with something to prove

      F#m
I came looking ... like anybody else

      C#m
I came searching ... like anybody else

D                       B
Looking for that golden calf

           E                                A
And I came shooting for the stars like any young blood

        C#m                         A
Found a fat cat city and a crooked judge

         F#m
I killed anything ... standing in my path

         C#m
I killed anything ... till I laid my hands

D                       B
Laid 'em on that golden calf
[Chorus]
             E                  C#m
Now it's our last stand in open country

            E                  C#m
This is my last chance to be with you

            A                C#m
This is the last dance for this kind of man

          A           B            E
I'm still looking for something to prove
[Verse]
          E                             A
I came around full circle, aged like an old dog

 C#m                                        A
Looking at them young bucks, just green as frogs

            F#m
But I ain't laying back, no time to laugh

        C#m
I aint laying back, there's a new kid coming,

D                       B
Gunning for that golden calf

      E                                A
I was looking for America in a western movie

    C#m                                       A
Saw young pike bishop striding through aqua verde

       F#m
He was headed down that dusty path

       C#m
He was headed down to that blood bath

D                       B
Chasing down that golden calf
[Chorus]
              E                  C#m
Now it's our last stand in open country

           E                     C#m
This is my last chance to be with you

            A                   C#m
This is the last dance for this kind of man

           A           B            E
I'm still looking for something to prove
[Bridge]
             F#m            G#m
But there's always someone faster

        A              C#m
Someone quicker on the draw

    F#m                G#m     A            B
Somebody with a hunger closing in, someone younger

         F#m          A       B
Stepping up to be the next outlaw
[Chorus]
             E                  C#m
Now it's our last stand in open country

           E                      C#m
This is my last chance to be with you

            A               C#m
This is the last dance for this kind of man

              A           B            C#m
And I'm still looking for something to prove

              A           B                  E
Yeah, I'm still looking for something ... to prove
