The Wild West Is Where I Wanna Be Chords & Lyrics - Tom Lehrer

A[Bb7]long the [Eb6]trail you'll find me lopin'
Where the [Ab6]spaces are wide [Eb6]open,
[Ebdim]In the [Eb]land of the [C6]old A.E.[F]C. (ye[Bb7]a-hah!)
Where the [Eb]scenery's attractive,
[Eb7]And the [Ab]air is radio-[F7]active,
Oh, the [Bb7]wild west is where I wanna [Eb]be. [Edim] [Bb7]

Mid the [Eb6]sagebrush and the cactus,
I'll [Ab6]watch the fellas [Eb]practice
[Ebdim]Droppin' [Eb]bombs through the [C7]clean desert [F7]breez[Bb7]e.
I'll have [Eb]on my sombrero,
[Eb7]And of [Ab]course I'll wear a [F7]pair o'
Levis [Bb7]over my lead B.V.[Eb6]D.'s.[Ab] [Abm6] [Eb]

[Eb7]I will [Ab]leave the city's rush,
[Bb7]Leave the [Eb]fancy [Bbm6]and the [C7]plush,
Leave the [Fm7]snow and [Fm7-5]leave the [Bb7]slush
And the [Eb]crowds.
[Eb7]I will [Ab]seek the desert's hush,
bB7 [Eb] [Bbm6] [C7]
Where the scenery is lush,
How I [F7]long to see the mush-
Room [Bb7]clouds.

'mid the [Eb6]yuccas and the thistles
I'll [Ab6]watch the guided [Eb]missiles,
[Ebdim]While the [Eb]old F.B.[C7]I. watches [F7]me. (yea[Bb7] -hah!)
Yes, I'll [Eb]soon make my appearance
[Eb7](soon as [Ab]I can get my [F7]clearance),
[Bb7] [Eb6] AB [Abm6] [Eb]
'cause the wild west is where I wanna be.
