   E                                     
My footsteps lead me warily through the old screen door, 
                                             A 
And onto the verandah across those weathered boards. 
                                     E           A 
Sad memories dwell behind me like an overstayin' guest, 
        E                      D       A   E 
So I've packed my swag and I'm walkin' out west. 
 
 
 
       E                 
Well I went on past the tank stand beyond the backyard gate, 
                                                 A 
Hopin' one day that my sorrow would somehow dissipate. 
                                      E               A 
I need time to think things over, how long I couldn't guess, 
        E                      D       A   E 
So I've packed my swag and I'm walkin' out west. 
 
 
 
      A                                   E 
Yeah, out there in the distance where the desert flowers bloom, 
                           B 
Maybe I'll get over losin' you. 
   A                                    E               A 
My restless heart must wander 'til I've put the pain to rest, 
      E                   D       A   E 
Until then I'll just keep walkin' out west. 
 
 
 
E      A    E    B

            E 
Well you'll find me on some highway or lonely railroad track, 
                                     A 
The burden of my sorrow riding on my back. 
                                            E               A 
There'll be no homeward footsteps 'til I've put the past to rest, 
      E                   D       A   E 
Until then I'll just keep walkin' out west. 
                          D       A   E 
Until then I'll just keep walkin' out west.

Yeah, my restless heart must wander 'til I've put the pain to rest, 
      E                   D       A   E 
Until then I'll just keep walkin' out west. 
                          D       A   E      D  A  E 
Until then I'll just keep walkin' out west.
