[Verse 1]
G
I was born and raised in the ghetto
Talk with me and you'll know
C                                 
  I wasn't satisfied, with living 
        G
on the side
I started looking around, for a 
          C
possibility
              G    D              
Listen to my story, of what became
     G
 of me

G
I met a businessman, who said he had
 some friends back east
C                                 
  So why don't you come along, 
                      G
well we can help you at least
We'll make you into a big star, by 
                C
playing your guitar
                    G  D          
But the joke was on me, they left 
              G
me flat, you see

[Chorus]
            D
Going back west
         C                   G
Yes, I know I'll make out alright
            D
Going back west

          C                   G
Where my music's playing all night
            C                D
Going back west (going back west)
                    G
I think I'll do alright

[Chorus]
            D
Going back west
         C                   G
Yes, I know I'll make out alright
            D
Going back West
          C                   G
Where my music's playing all night
            C                D
Going back west (going back west)
                    G
I think I'll do alright

[Verse 2]
G
Struggling for recognition, identity
 and respect
C                                 
  I got a lot of promises, they 
              G
told me not to fret
Said we will stand by you, if the 
            C
going gets rough
                     G      D     
But when I started thinking, they 
             G
didn't even bluff

(Key change to Ab, half step up)

[Verse 3]
Ab
   'bout a year has come and gone, 
and left me standing here
Db                                
   Thinking how it could have 
                       Ab
been, for still I ain't nowhere
They surely took me for a ride, 
                Db
trampled on my pride
                   Ab      Eb     
But I hold my head up high, got no
                Ab
 more tears to cry

[Chorus]
            Eb
Going back west
         Db                  Ab
Yes, I know I'll make out alright
            Eb
Going back west
          Db                   Ab
Where my music's playing all night
            Db               Eb
Going back west (going back west)
                    Ab
I think I'll do alright

[Otro]
            Db               Eb
Going back west (going back west)
                    Ab
I think I'll do alright
