[Intro]
Em C G  x2

[Verse 1]
Em     C          G
Headed out to California
Em      C              G
Gone west to see the sun
Em              C             G
There's a fortune here if you got time, but I've found mine
Em             C             G
Buried in the golden hair she spun
Em      C              G
Sailin' off to search the islands
Em   C                  G
Gone west for somethin' new
Em        C             G
Found paniolo and wave riders, but chose neither
Em                     C            G
Picked the sweetest sugar cane they grew


[Chorus]
                Em        C                G            D
I've gone west, rollin' down the highway like a tumbleweed
              Em          C               G               D
I've gone west, where the canyons fall into the deep blue sea
           Em        C                G      D
Took a left from the hills of Tennessee, yeah
              Em            C              G
I've gone west to bring the best back with me
              Em            C              G
I've gone west to bring the best back with me


[Verse 2]
Em            C          G   G/F#
I chased the light to Amarillo
Em        C            G    G/F#
Where the wild horses run
Em       C             G
Caught a painted-angel moonrise, kinda spitfire
Em            C            G
Like a bullet from a smokin' gun
Em    C              G        G/F#
Goin' back to mama's homeland
Em        C               G     G/F#
Playin' in the field of dreams
Em    C                   G
I was lookin' where the corn grows and the skies glow
Em               C         G
And I found your beauty in between


[Chorus]
               Em         C                G            D
I've gone west, rollin' down the highway like a tumbleweed
               Em         C               G               D
I've gone west, where the canyons fall into the deep blue sea
           Em        C                G       D
Took a left from the hills of Tennessee, yeah
              Em            C              G
I've gone west to bring the best back with me
              Em            C              G
I've gone west to bring the best back with me


[Bridge]
      C                       G
And I follow the fadin' light
         C                       G
'Til the stars are my map at night
       Am                      Em
And if you come to get me and my house is empty
     C       D
It's safe to guess I've gone west

Em C G  x2


[Chorus]
               Em       C                G            D
I've gone west, rollin' down the highway like a tumbleweed
               Em         C               G               D
I've gone west, where the canyons fall into the deep blue sea
           Em        C                G      D
Took a left from the hills of Tennessee, yeah
              Em            C              G
I've gone west to bring the best back with me
              Em            C              G
I've gone west to bring the best back with me
