C                 F
Goodbye Colorado, goodbye Arizona
C               G              F
Goodbye Nevada, goodbye New Mexico
F                                   C                  Am
God bless the west, Texas, yes, you know I'll miss you so
                C           G              C
So it's goodbye Colorado, boys, I'm headed home


[Verse 1]
             F         C
It's been a long hard year
  G                     Am
Who knows when it might end?
          F            C
And this reign hangin' over us
 G                        C
Might break but it won't bend


[Chorus]
C                            F       C
So it's goodbye Louisiana, goodbye Oklahoma
 C                 G        F
Goodbye Nebraska, goodbye Ohio
F                                    C                  Am
God bless the rest, Kansas, yes, you know I'll miss you so
                  C          G               C
So it's goodbye Louisiana, boys, I'm headed home


[Verse 2]
            F             C
I made my home in these ancient lands
 G                   Am
Yearning to breathe free
          F              C
Tempest tossed by the mother of exiles
 G            C
Now I take my leave


[Chorus]
   C                        F       C
So it's goodbye Colorado, goodbye Arizona
  C                G            F
Goodbye Montana, goodbye sweet Idaho
F                                   C                  Am
God bless the west, Texas, yes, you know I'll miss you so
                  C
So it's goodbye Colorado
 G                C
Boys, I'm headed home
