Wild West Hero Chords & Lyrics - Electric Light Orchestra

[G]Wish [D]I [EM]was, yeah, a [A]wild west h[D]ero. [G]
[G]Sometimes I look up h[EM]igh and then I th[C]ink there might
just be[A] a better li[D]fe.
[G]Away from all we k[EM]now, that's where I wa[C]nna go,
out on [A]the wild si[D]de
[G]and I [D]wish I [EM]was, [D]o-o[G]o-o-[G7]oh, a wild [C]west [D]hero.
[G]Ride the range all the d[D]ay till the fir[EM]st fading light[B7] ,
be with m[C]y western gi[G]rl round the [A]fire, oh, so [D]bright.
I'd be the [G]Indians fr[D]iend, let them [EM]live to be f[B7]ree,
ridin' [C]into the [G]sunset,[A] I wish [C]I could b[G]e.

SOLO [C] [G] [A] [C7] [D7]

I'd ride the desert sands and through the prairie lands,
try'n to do what's right.
The folks would come to me, they'd say, we need you here.
I'd stay there for the night.
Oh, I wish I was, o-oo-o-oh, a wild west hero.

Ride the range all the day till the first fading light,
be with my western girl round the fire, oh, so bright.
I'd be the Indians friend, let them live to be free,
ridin' into the sunset, I wish I could be.
