F C G Am G
[Chorus]
F C
Wish I coulda seen it just as they did
G Am G
Lookin' over God’s country sittin' top of a ridge
F C
By the seat of a horse or an old wagon train
G Am G
On that sea of prairie settin sail ‘cross the plains
F C
Chasin' the sun, headin' westbound for more
G Am G
Out where the mountains and the eagles do soar
F C G Am G
[Verse]
F C
Wish I’da seen the Missouri, before she was dammed
G Am G
'Fore the sod was all busted and the train made its tracks
F C
The range was still open and free from that wire
G Am G
When the law was your own and guns were for hire
F C
The great herds were plenty and the Sioux followed close
G Am G
Still dance 'round their fires, and the pipe was still smoked
[Instrumental]
F C G Am G
F C G Am G
F C G Am G
F C G Am G
[Verse]
F C
And now all I see is a canyon that's paved
G Am G
And them faces they carved on the rocks that God made
F C
The lights of the sky ain’t just moon, sun and stars
G Am G
And their promised land somehow became ours
F C
Oh what I’d give just for one glimpse
G Am G
At the West that once was and the way life was lived
[Instrumental/Outro]
