I Am Going To The West Chords by Connie Dover

[Bm] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ [Bm] _ _ _ _ [F#m] _ _ _
[Em] _ _ _ _ _ In [G] this fair land I'll stay [D] no more,
[A] Here labor [F#m] is in vain.
I'll [G] seek the mountains [D] far away
And [A] _ leave the [Bm] fertile [A] plain
_ [Bm] _ Where [G] waves of grass in [D] oceans roll
_ [A] _ _
[F#m] Into infinity.
I [G] stand ready [D] on the shore
To [A] cross the [B] inland sea.
_ _ I [G] am [A] going [Bm] to the [F#m] west.
_ [Bm] _ You [G] say you will not go [D] with me,
[A] You turn your [Bm] eyes away,
You [G] say you will not [D] follow me,
No [A] matter [B] what I say.
_ _ _ I am [Em] going [D] to the west.
I [Em] am going [Bm] to the _ west.
_ _ [Em] _
_ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ I [G] will journey [D] to the place
That [A] was shaped by [F#m] heaven's hand,
And I [G] will build for [D] me a bough
[A] Where angels' footprints mark [Bm] the [A] land,
[Bm] _ _ Where [G] castled rocks in [D] towers high
Kneel [A] to valleys [E] [F#m] white and green.
[G] All my thoughts are turned [D] to you,
My [A] waking hope, my [B] sleeping [Bm] dream. _ _
_ [G] I am going [A] [Bm] to the [A] west.
[Bm] _ _ You say [G] you will not [D] go with me,
You [A] turn your [Bm] eyes away,
You say [G] you will not [D] follow me,
[A] No matter what [Bm] I say.
_ _ I am going [D] to the west.
[Em] I am going [Bm] to the [F#m] west.
[B] _ _ And [G] when sun gives [D] way to moon
And [A] silver starlight [F#m] fills the sky,
In [G] the arms of [D] these last hills
Is [A] where I'm [Bm] bound to [A] lie.
[Bm] _ Wind [G] my blanket, [D] earth my bed,
My [A] _ canopy of tree,
Willows [G] by the [D] river's edge
[F#m] Will [A] whisper me [Bm] to sleep. _ _
_ [G] I am going [A] [Bm] to the west.
You say [G] you will not [D] go with me,
You [A] turn your [Bm] eyes away,
You [G] say you will not [D] follow me,
[A] No matter what [Bm] I say. _
[B] _ _ I am [Bm] going [D] to the _ _ [Em] _ _ west.
[Bm] _ _
[G] I am going to [D] the _ [Em] west.
