Tom: D
Dm - D Dm
1. You see the ghost of the buffalo moving both fierce and slow,
D
like glittering prophesies, on the edge of the horizon.
Dm
As you drive glittering highways and beaten-up byways,
D
that straddle and girdle our great and many-faced nation.
Dm
You see the lambs in the ghettos who worship their Gepettos,
D
believing in, never seeing, the strings they think bind them.
Dm
So we write to our congressmen with bleeding pens of the sorrow within,
D
and in return, they just send tickets to the latest Tom Hanks show.
F G Dm - F G D
Welcome to the new Wild West, each man for himself.
F G C G F G Dm
Civilized steeples, and lonely people, welcome to the new Wild West.
Dm
2. There are so many factions and cue-card reactions,
it's hard to keep clear the possibilities here,
D
'cause there's no force to unite them.
Dm
Privilege has ruled for thousands of years,
wars have been fought with bibles and tears,
D
yet liberation can't deny the temptation, soon becomes the oppressor.
Dm
Show me a leader who's fit to lead,
who don't sow his seed in anything wounded enough to breed,
D
because after all, what fun is power, if you can't act like a rock star?
F G Dm - F G D
Welcome to the new Wild West, each man for himself.

Am F G
La la da da, la la la la da da. (2x)
Dm
3. As for me, I've been petty, oh, and unkind, but I know my own mind,
and since it seems clear there's no one leading us here,
the only thing left it appears is
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - D
to task ourselves to be better each time, than those before us.
Dm
We'll be an army of thieves, of self-freed slaves,
of mild-mannered maids, we'll fight with whispers and blades,
D
so get ready, a new day is dawning
F G Dm - F G Dm
Welcome to the new Wild West, each man for himself.
F G C G
A nation of civilized steeples, and lonely people,
F G Dm
welcome to the new Wild West.
