E5 A5 Sad memories dwell behind me like an overstayin' guest, E5 D5 A5 E5 So I've packed my swag and I'm walkin' out west. E5 Well I went on past the tank stand beyond the backyard gate, A5 Hopin' one day that my sorrow would somehow dissipate. E5 A5 I need time to think things over, how long I couldn't guess, E5 D5 A5 E5 So I've packed my swag and I'm walkin' out west. A5 E5 Yeah, out there in the distance where the desert flowers bloom , B5 Maybe I'll get over losin' you.
