We speak in broken American
F G#
From the inlands to the shores

From the high plains to the bad lands
F G#
From the mountains to the valley floor

And the streets were now paved with gold
F G#
Every man would find a wage
Cm G#
But now I don't know where to go
F G# Cm
To work the live-long day
[Chorus]
D# A#
Now I got to leave this place, oh-oh

Back to my sweet land, oh oh oh
D# A#
Now I got to leave this place, oh-oh
Cm G# F G#
Back to my sweet land

They tell us how the west was won

And we got the news today
