C#m A
We speak in broken American
F# A
From the inlands to the shores
C#m A
From the high plains to the bad lands
F# A
From the mountains to the valley floor
bm A
And the streets were now paved with gold
F# A
Every man would find a wage
C#m A
But now I don't know where to go
F# A C#m
To work the live-long day
[Chorus]
E B
Now I got to leave this place, oh-oh
G#m C#m
Back to my sweet land, oh oh oh
E B
Now I got to leave this place, oh-oh
C#m A F# A
Back to my sweet land

They tell us how the west was won

Yet if most of us could stay

We speak in Broken American
F# A C#m
And we got the news today
[Chorus 2]
