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    -nc-
… Picked the sweetest sugar cane they grew


          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


Em             C           G
… I chased the light to Amarillo -Ooh, ooh, ooh-
Em          C           G
… Where the wild horses run  -Ooh, ooh, ooh-
Em         C             G
… Caught a painted-angel moonrise, kinda spitfire
Em              C              G
… Like a bullet from a smokin’ gun -Ooh-hoo-oo-oo-


Em      C              G
… Goin’ back to mama’s homeland -Ooh, ooh, ooh-
Em        C               G
… Playin’ in the field of dreams -Ooh, ooh, ooh-
Em      C                 G
… I was lookin’ where the corn grows and the skies glow
Em                 C           G     -nc-
… And I found your beauty in between


          Em            C                G            D
I’ve gone west, rollin’ down the highway like a tumbleweed

I’ve gone west to bring the best back with me


      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    -nc-
It’s safe to guess…I’ve gone west


  Em  C     G         Em  C    G
