Thanks to good ole' Captain Jack
         C                  D9                Bb

Let me go, Far away.

Somewhere they won't ever find me, and tomorrow won't remind me of today

No more fat old men denying me my pay
C          Dm7    G7       Em7  C           Fmaj7     G     E7   
    Just a moon so big and yellow, it turns night right into day

Dreams come true, Yeah they do, In Santa Fe
 
Bridge:

Where does it say you gotta live and die here
  F           G      F         G      C          C
Where does it say a guy can't catch a break
C   
Why should you only take what you're given
Am                        Fm   
Why should you spend your whole life living
Am
Trapped where there ain't no future
Fmaj7            Am  
Even at seventeen
Am                                   Fmaj7
Breaking your back for someone else's sake
      Bb                           Bm7                    E7        E7
If the life don't seem to suit you, how 'bout a change of scene
Am                  Am                G                  A7 Gmaj7 G  
Far from the lousy headlines and the deadlines in between
 
Verse 4:
A7    A7 D            Bm
   Santa Fe, my old friend
          G       A          G   D
I can't spend my whole life dreaming
         A          Gb      Bm    Bm        G    D  
Though I know that's all I seem inclined to do
         Em7    A7   Gbm7 D       Gmaj7  A7         Gb7
I ain't getting any younger, And I wanna start brand new
Gb7      Em9            Gmaj7  
 I need space, And fresh air
         D          A              Bm
Let 'em laugh in my face, I don't care
Gbm     Gmaj7          A7   
Save my place, I'll be there

Interlude: D E D E  
 
Verse 5:
        F                D  
Just be real is all I'm asking
          F             D  
Not some painting in my head
          Bm               G             Bm     Bm  
Cause I'm dead if I can't count on you today
        Bb   Bb    Gm7     Gbm   A Bm   Bm Bb C D
I got nothing if I ain't got Santa Fe
