[Intro]
G C G D7 G

G    Bm7 Em  A
Wish  I  was
            Dsus4 D  G
a wild west he    -  ro


[Verse 1]
G             Em
  Sometimes I look up high
           Cmaj7
And then I think there might,
     Aadd9 A       Dsus4  D
Just be   a better li  -  fe

G           Em
  Away from all we know
               Cmaj7
That's where I wanna go
    Aadd9   A    Dsus4 D 
Out  on the wild si  -  de,


[Pre-Chorus]
G      D/F#  Em
And wish I was


[Chorus]
   D7       G     G7   C    A7 Dsus4 D G
Oh oh oh oh oh, a wild west he -  -  - ro.
D        G             D       
Ride the range all the day
         Em           B
Till the first fading light
        C          G
Be with my western girl
          A7         D
Round the fire oh so bright
           G        D
I'd be the indians' friend
         Em         B
Let them live to be free
       C        G
Ridin' into the sunset
  Am   Cm    G 
I wish might be.

[Verse 2]
G             Em  
 I'd ride the desert sands
                Cmaj7
And through the prairie lands
Aadd9    A          Dsus4 D
Tryin' to do what's   right

G                Em7    
 The folks would come to me
              Cmaj7
They'd say we need you here
    Aadd9    A         Dsus4 D  
I'd stay there for the night,     


[Pre-Chorus]
G D/F# Em
         Oh I wish I was


[Chorus]
   D7       G     G7   C    A7 Dsus4 D G
Oh oh oh oh oh, a wild west he -  -  - ro.     
N.C. 
Ride the range all the day
N.C
Till the first fading light
N.C.
Be with my western girl
N.C. 
Round the fire oh so bright
           G        D
I'd be the indians' friend
         Em         B
Let them live to be free
       C        G
Ridin' into the sunset
  Am   Cm    G   G7
I wish might be.
