Em C
We speak in broken American
A C
From the inlands to the shores
Em C
From the high plains to the bad lands
A C
From the mountains to the valley floor

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

They tell us how the west was won

And we got the news today

So I've signed on

And soon we're shipping off

Tryin' not to cry
