F         C
Along the trail you'll find me lopin'
          F               Fsus2
Where the spaces are wide open,
       C           A7      D7      G7
In the land of the old A.E.C. (yea-hah!)
          C
Where the scenery's attractive,
        F            Fsus2
And the air is radio-active,
        C              G           C
Oh, the wild west is where I wanna be.

        C
Mid the sagebrush and the cactus,
     F                Fsus2
I'll watch the fellas practice
          C                 A7           D7    G7
Droppin' bombs through the clean desert breeze.
     C
I'll have on my sombrero,
        F                 Fsus2
And of course I'll wear a pair o'
      C        G       C   C7
Levis over my lead B.V.D.'s.

        F
I will leave the city's rush,
          C
Leave the fancy and the plush,
          G7
Leave the snow and leave the slush
     C     C7
And crowds.
        F
I will seek the desert's hush,
          C
Where the scenery is lush,
      D7                 Am
How I long to see thosee mush-
D7     G     G7
Room clouds.

         C
'mid the yuccas and the thistles
     F                Fsus2
I'll watch the guided missiles,
          C       A7         D7       G7
While the old F.B.I. watches me. (yea-hah!)
          C
Yes, I'll soon make my appearance
         F            Fsus2
(soon as I can get my clearance),
           C             G           C       F C
'cause the wild west is where I wanna be.
