[Verse 1]
F#m E
The cold and grey just wears me down
F#m E
Day after day in this hard luck town
D E
Can't keep a dollar can't make a friend
D E
Don't believe I'll be content again
[Chorus]
A D E
'Til I see those western skies
A D E
Sunshine on the open plain
A D E
Blue sky across the mountain range
D E
When I'm free that's where I'll be
[Verse 2]
F#m E
There's a girl who's been on my mind
F#m E
A precious jewel so hard to find
D E
Said some things that I take back now
D E
Maybe I'll get a second chance somehow
[Chorus]

'Til I see those western skies
A D E
Sunshine on the open plain

Blue sky across the mountain range

When I'm free that's where I'll be

I fight my way through another day
F#m E
Rode blocks at every turn

Nobody even looks my way

Don't know how to make my get away

[Verse 4]
F#m E
A heavy load weighing on my back
F#m E
As I walk along these rusty tracks
D E
I sit alone out on the pier
D E
Marking time 'til I get out of here
[Chorus]
A D E
So I can see those western skies
A D E
Sunshine on the open plain
A D E
Blue sky across the mountain range
D E
When I'm free that's where I'll be
[Outro]
