Intro Am G C (x2)
verse 1
C
I heard the walls had fallen down
C/B Am G C
You were running out of town again, my friend
C
The call you’d always thought was best
C/B Am G C
Was the very one that drove you way out West, out West
Pre-Chorus
C G
But look at you now; this is no man you have been
Am
The point on your compass it leads you farther still
G F
To the sea you have been sent
C G F
But I heard there's gold out West
C G F
In the sky where the sun makes its rest
C G F
Clear your throat and take off your coat, you've always known best
verse 2
C
The Western Expansion is all that you have
C/B
And a fire in your soul has been driving you mad
Am G C
A life on the coast is a thing you can boast my friend
C
The sea moves regardless the waves always stand
C/B
And the fires on the coast keep your heart close at hand
Am G C
And the stars in your eyes raise them high like the calls in the night
Pre-Chorus
C G
But look at you now; the past couldn't tell who you are
Am G F
Your home may seem so far away to you, but man home is in your heart
C G F
But I heard there's gold out West
C G F
In the sky where the sun makes its rest
C G F C G
Clear your throat and take off your coat, you've always known best
