Start Jamming...
He has an eighth album entitled Big World.
He's singing two of the songs from it.
First, Wild West, followed by Survival.
Please welcome [G] Joe Jackson!
Out to the West [A] there's a trail that leads [G] somewhere
And the call of the wild [A] will take some [G] people there
From Monument [A] Valley to [G] California, son
From New Amsterdam [A] to where the West [G] is won
[C] Wild years will go by when you won't get [G] nowhere
[C] You're cold and you're tired and you're free and you [G] don't care
You keep pushing on, your friends keep turning back
And you keep building towns and laying railroad track
And things get [A] crazy and you have to [G] use that gun
And you wonder if [A] this is the way the [G] West is won
But [C] keep thinking that way and you won't get nowhere
[C] Cause you gotta ride just to get where [G] you're going to
[C] Gotta keep running, gotta be the [Bb] best, gotta walk tall [D] in the wild [G]
west
[Bm] [D] [E]
[F]
[G]
You keep on the move, you try to settle down
And there's strangers from further and further away in town
You give them some tools and you know what must be done
And you know who's the boss and you know the West was won
And [Gm] they say, where I come from, [C] you can't get [G] nowhere
I'm breaking my back for some opportunity
Making my fortune and I'll [C] take it all
I won't tell [D] my kids about the [G] wild west
[Am] [Bm] And there's still beauty, [C] has no flowers, [D] blue mountains and sands
And [Bm] there's still hope as [A] the sun rises over the Rio [Am] Grande
But [Bm] it's so crowded [C] now, and nothing's [D] simple anymore
[C] And they're still knocking at your [A] door
[Cm]
You hear guns in the night and you hope they're not for you
Cause a dog eats a dog, then he eats his master too
In a land of the free and the not [G] so often bred
There's both love and money, now choose what you will save
[C] Keep thinking [G] that way, cause you won't get nowhere
[C] You got a ride, you get where you're [G] going to
Gotta [C] keep running, gotta be the [Bb] best, gotta walk tall in the [G] wild west
Keep thinking that way, cause you won't get nowhere
[C] You got a ride, you get where [G] you're going to
[C] Gotta keep running, gotta be the best, [Bb] gotta walk tall in the wild
[Bb] Gotta walk tall in the wild, gotta walk tall in the [G] wild west
[N]
