VERSE 
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 
    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 
Fadd9                     C 
Gotta keep runnin', gotta be the best 
Bb                     Dm C  | G | % | % | % | 
Gotta walk tall in the wi-ld west

VERSE 
    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 
         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 


Chorus 
Fadd9                     C 
Gotta keep runnin', gotta be the best 
Bb                     Dm C   
Gotta walk tall in the wi-ld (west) 
Bb                     Dm C   
Gotta walk tall in the wi-ld (west) 
Bb                     Dm C  | G | % | % | % | % | % | % | 
Gotta walk tall in the wi-ld west               (fade out)
