Introduction:
Bb7 Eb6
Along the trail you'll find me lopin'
Ab6 Eb6
Where the spaces are wide open,
Ebº Eb C6 F Bb7
In the land of the old A.E.C. (yea-hah!)
Eb
Where the scenery's attractive,
Eb7 Ab F7
And the air is radio-active,
Bb7 Eb Eº Bb7
Oh, the wild west is where I wanna be.
Eb6
Mid the sagebrush and the cactus,
Ab6 Eb
I'll watch the fellas practice
Ebº Eb C7 F7 Bb7
Droppin' bombs through the clean desert breeze.
Eb
I'll have on my sombrero,
Eb7 Ab F7
And of course I'll wear a pair o'
Bb7 Eb6 Ab Abm6 Eb
Levis over my lead B.V.D.'s.
Eb7 Ab
I will leave the city's rush,
Bb7 Eb Bbm6 C7
Leave the fancy and the plush,
Fm7 Fm7(b5) Bb7
Leave the snow and leave the slush
Eb
And the crowds.
Eb7 Ab
I will seek the desert's hush,
Eb Bbm6 C7
Where the scenery is lush,
F7
How I long to see the mush-
Bb7
Room clouds.
Eb6
'mid the yuccas and the thistles
Ab6 Eb
I'll watch the guided missiles,
Ebº Eb C7 F7 Bb7
While the old F.B.I. watches me. (yea-hah!)
Eb
Yes, I'll soon make my appearance
Eb7 Ab F7
(soon as I can get my clearance),
Bb7 Eb6 A B Abm6 Eb
'cause the wild west is where I wanna be.
