[INTRO]
[F] [Bbm] [F#] [Ab] [F] [Bbm] [F#] [Ab] [F] [Bbm] [F#] [Ab] [F] [Bbm] [F#] [Ab]

[VERSE 1]
[F]He got the high sign so he [Bbm]jumped a bus
[F#]Along the roads that wind on [Ab]through
[F#]The hot Mojave and the [Bbm]Jericho
[F#]He'd start his whole life a[Ab]new
[F]And what he left behind [Bbm]he hadn't valued
[F#]Half as much as some [Ab]things he never knew[F] [F#] [Eb] [F] [F#] [C#] [F] [F#] [C#] [Ab] [F] [Bbm] [F#]
[F#]Right around [Ab]sundown...
[F]He got dropped off on a [Bbm]street in town
[Bbm]Where a gr[F#]ey old man looked him [Ab]up and down and said
"[F]Son, this ain't no western [Bbm]movie matinee
[Bbm]You're a [F#]long way off from yi[Ab]ppie-yi-yay
[Ab]'Cause I can [F]tell at a glance you're not from [Bbm]around these parts
[Bbm]You've got a [F#]green look about'cha--that's a [Ab]gringo for starts
[Ab]Sometime[F]s the only thing a western [Bbm]savage understands
[Bbm]Are [F#]whiskey and rifles and an [Ab]unarmed man Like you"[F] [F#] [C#]
"[F]So you gotta keep on the mov[F#]e! [C#] [F]
[F]Don't let that fancy [F#]paint job [C#]fool you![F] "[F#] [C#]
[F]Then the old timer pulled him close and said

[CHORUS 1]
[F]You've come a long way, I [Bbm]know
[F#]You've got a longer drive [Ab]ahead
[F]Through the bones of the [Bbm]buffalo
[F#]Through the claims of the [Ab]western dead, and
[F]Just like the spokes of a [Bbm]wheel
[F#]You'll spin 'round with the re[Ab]st
[F]You'll hear the drums and the [Bbm]brush of steel
[F#]You'll hear the call of the [Ab]west, call of the west[F] [Bbm]
[F#]You'll hear the call of the [Ab]west, call of the west[F]

[BRIDGE]
[N.C.]Harshly awakened by the sound of six rounds of light-caliber rifle fire
[N.C.]Followed minutes later by the booming of nine rounds from a heavier rifle
[N.C.]But you can't close off the wilderness
[N.C.]He heard the snick of a rifle bolt
[N.C.]And found himself peering down the muzzle
[N.C.]Of a weapon held by a drunken liquor store owner
"There's a conflict," he [F]said, "there's a [F#]conflict
[F#]Between land and people[Ab]
[Ab]The people have to [F]go
They've come [F#]all the way out here [Ab]to make mining claims
[F]To do automobile body work
[F#]To gamble
[Ab]Take pictures
[F]To not have to do laundry
[F#]To own a mini-bike
[Ab]Have their own cb radios and air conditioning
[F]Good plumbing for sure
[F#]And to sell Time/Life bo[Ab]oks and to work in a deli
[F]To have a little chili every morning[F#]
[Ab]And maybe... Maybe to own their own [F]gas stations again
And take [F#]drugs
Have some [Ab]crazy sex
[F]But above all, above all, to have a fair [F#]shake
[F#]To get a piece of the rock and a slice of the [Ab]pie
[F]And spit out of the window of your car and not have the wind blow it back in your face"

[CHORUS 2]
[F]Now, from the high timberline to the [Bbm]deserts dry
[Bbm]Who'll risk [F#]dangling on some hangman's [Ab]tree
[F]To stake their claims on these [Bbm]prarie plains
[Bbm]While they [F#]say you this lunch is not [Ab]had for free
[F]Just like the spokes of a [Bbm]wheel
[F#]Who'll spin 'round with the re[Ab]st
[F]They'll hear the drums and the [Bbm]brush of steel
[Bbm]And [F#]I'll hear the call of the [Ab]west, call of the west
[F] [Bbm]
(Yippie-yi-yo, yippie-yi-yo-ki-yay, yippie-yi-yo-ohh-ohh)
[F#]I'll hear the call of the [Ab]west, call of the west
[F] [Bbm]
(Yippie-yi-yo, yippie-yi-yo-ki-yay, yippie-yi-yo-ohh-ohh)
[F#]I'll hear the call of the [Ab]west, call of the west
[F] [Bbm]
(Yippie-yi-yo, yippie-yi-yo-ki-yay, yippie-yi-yo-ohh-ohh)
[F#]I'll hear the call of the [Ab]west, call of the west
[F]
(Yippie-yi-yo, yippie-yi-yo-ki-yay, yippie-yi-yo-ohh-ohh)
[N.C.]I used to be somebody!
[N.C.]I used to be somebody, do you hear me?
[N.C.]Do you hear me? I've been there!
[N.C.]I used to be somebody, god damn you!
[N.C.]I've been there before!
[N.C.]Don't walk away!
[N.C.]Well, you--you wanted unleaded?
[N.C.]Unleaded--that's next pump over, so keep on movin', okay?
[N.C.]No, it's out of order.
