     D/C  C  D/C  C  D/C     C                G/B
Your old man got mad when I told him we were leaving
    D/C   C       D/C  C       D/C          G/B
He cursed and he raged and he swore at the ceiling
    F
He called you his child,
                           Em
said honey get wise to his game
       F
He'll get you in trouble
                                   Em
I know it, those bums are all the same
            D/C C  D/C  C  D/C      C                    G/B
There's a greyhound outside in the lane, it's waiting for us
    D/C  C  D/C  C Am7         D7             D/C C D/C C D/C C D/C C
So tell him goodbye, we got to go west on that bus

Chorus:
         G
And it's all over now
           Bm
Don't you worry no more
 C                       G
Going to go west to the sea
     G
The greyhound is swaying
         Bm
And the radio is playing
       C                 D
Some blues for baby and me
         Bm                    Em      Em7
And the highway looks like it never did
         Am                     C
Lord it looks so sweet and so free
       G                      Bm
And I can't forget that trip to the west
          C        D        C
Singing blues for baby and me

Saw your hands trembling, your eyes opened in surprise
It's ninety in the shade babe, and there ain't a cloud in the sky
I called you my child, said honey now this is our game
There's two of us to play it and I'm happy to be home again
There's a greyhound outside in the lane, it's waiting for us
So tell him goodbye, we got to go west on that bus

Chorus - x2
