         But every day there’s a new thing comin’
    F#m7               C#m7
The ways of a oriental view
    C#m7                               C#m7
The sheriff and his buddies with their samurai swords
F#                    F#sus4  F#         F#sus4  F#
You can even hear the music   at night
G#m B C#m7
         Although it’s apart of a lone star state
F#m7                  C#m7
People don't seem to care

They just keep on lookin’ to the east
