[Verse 1]
G                         Cm6/G  
Out to the west there's a trail 
              G
that leads somewhere
      G                     Cm6/G 
And a call of the wild that takes 
            G
some people there
        G                 
Through Monument Valley to 
 Cm6/G      G
California sun
     G                    Cm6/G   
From New Amsterdam to the way the 
        | G | % | % | % |
west was won

[Bridge]
      Fadd9                    
Well, years will go by when you 
 C           G
won't get nowhere
       Fadd9                    
You're cold and you're tired and 
        C                 | G | % | % 
you're free and you don't care
| % | % | % |


[Verse 2]
    G                         
You keep pushin' on when your 
Cm6/G                G
friends keep turning back
        G                       
And you keep building towns and 
Cm6/G           G
laying railroad track
    G                        Cm6/G
And things get crazy and you have 
            G
to use that gun
        G                     
And you wonder if this is the 
Cm6/G           G
way the west is won

    Fadd9                          
But keep thinkin' that way and you 
C           G
won't get nowhere
       Fadd9                   C  
'Cause you got a right just to get
                    G
 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 3]
    G                       Cm6/G 
You keep on the move or you try to
        G
 settle down
            G                      
And there's strangers from further 
    Cm6/G           G
and further away in town
        G                       
And you give them some tools and 
      Cm6/G             G
they know what must be done
        G                          
And you know who's the boss and you
 Cm6/G             G
 know the west was won

[Bridge]
              Fadd9                
And they say: Where I come from, 
  C           G
you can't get nowhere
    Fadd9                    
I'm breaking my back for some 
 C        G
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           
 And there's still beauty as the 
C                D      Dsus4
flowers bloom on desert sands
Am7                Bm7            
 And there's still hope as the sun
 C              D   Dsus4
 rises over the Rio Grande
Am7          Bm7          
 But it's so crowded now and 
   C                D
nothing's simple anymore
Cadd9                              
  And they're still knocking at 
|  Cadd9 | % | Gadd9 | % |
your door

[Verse 4]
         G                         
You hear guns in the night and you 
Cm6/G                G
hope they're not for you
         G                      
'Cause a dog eats a dog then he 
Cm6/G           G
eats his master too
       G                        
In the land of the free and the 
Cm6/G        G
not so often brave
        G                      
There's both love or money now 
Cm6/G                | G | % | % | % |
choose which you will save

[Bridge]
    Fadd9                          
But keep thinkin' that way and you 
C           G
won't get nowhere
       Fadd9                   C  
'Cause you got a right just to get
                    G
 where you're goin' to

[Chorus]
Fadd9                     C
Gotta keep runnin', gotta be the 
best
