G5    D5 E5           A5          D5    G5
Wish I was, yeah, a wild west hero.
G5                    E5               C5
Sometimes I look up high and then I think there might
       A5           D5
just be a better life.
G5                 E5                    C5
Away from all we know, that's where I wanna go,
       A5          D5
out on the wild side
G5     D5      E5   D5  G5   G5         C5    D5   
and I wish I was, o-oo-o-oh, a wild west hero.
G5                       D5              E5             B5
Ride the range all the day till the first fading light,
         C5           G5            A5            D5
be with my western girl round the fire, oh, so bright.
           G5         D5              E5          B5
I'd be the Indians friend, let them live to be free,
       C5        G5      A5       C5        G5
ridin' into the sunset, I wish I could be.

SOLO C5 G5 A5 C5  D5

I'd ride the desert sands and through the prairie lands,
try'n to do what's right.
The folks would come to me, they'd say, we need you here.
I'd stay there for the night.
Oh, I wish I was, o-oo-o-oh, a wild west hero.

Ride the range all the day till the first fading light,
be with my western girl round the fire, oh, so bright.
I'd be the Indians friend, let them live to be free,
ridin' into the sunset, I wish I could be.
