[C] [G] I'm sweating.
They say folks is dying to get [C] here,
[Gm] me I'm dying [B] to [Em] get away, [Am]
to a little town [G] out west
that's [C] spanking [D] warm.
[C]
[G] And while I ain't never been [C] there, [Gm] I can [B] see it clear [Em] as day.
[Am]
If you [D] want, I bet that you could see it [Bb] too.

Let me [C] go far [Am] away, [F] somewhere [G] they won't never [C] find me, [G] and tomorrow [E] [G] won't remind me [F] of today.
When the [G] city's finally [Em] sleeping, [Am]
[Dm] and the moon [G] looks old and [C] grey, I [Eb] get on the [Bb] train
[Am] that's bound for [D] Santa [Dm] Fe.
[G]
[C] And I'm gone, and [Am] I'm done, [F] no more running, [G] [F] no more [C] lying, no [G] more [E] fat old men [G] denying
me [F] my pain.
Just a woman [G] so big and yellow, [C] it [F] turns night [Dm] right into [E] day.
Dreams [Dm] come true, [F] [C] here they do, [Dm] [G] in Santa [D] Fe.
[C] [G] [F] Where does it say you gotta [C] live and die here?
[F] Where does it say a guy can't catch a [G] break?
[C] Why should you only take what you're [Am] given?
Why should you [Ab] spend your whole life [C] living trapped where there ain't no future?
[F] Even at seventeen, just breaking [C] your back for someone [F] else's sake.
If [Bb] the life don't seem to suit you, [B] how about a change of scene?
[Am] Far from the [G] lousy headlines and the deadlines in [A] between.
[Em]

[D] Fe!
