Gm F They got a ranch they call F# Gm F Number fifty-one F# C A# They got a ranch they call B Gm F Number fifty-one F# A# Can't see it all C Gm F 'less your flying by A# Just sitting there square C Gm Baking in the sun Chorus: Gm A# D# Cm G# Cm A# Beneath the sky D# Cm G# Cm A# Sky D# Cm G# Cm A# Sky D# Cm G# Cm A# Sky They're gonna put it down Right on the strip They're gonna put it down On the Vegas strip They're gonna put it down And step outside Into the lights Right outta that ship Chorus: Saying HI! Hi Hi Hi D# I was driving doing nothing on Cm the shores of Great Salt Lake G# When they put it on the air Cm A# I put it in the hammer lane I soon forgot about myself and I forgot about the brake I forgot about all laws and I forgot about the rain They were talking on the 9 and all across the amy band Across the road they were turning around and headed south with me It got so crowded on the road I started driving on the sand My head was feeling scared but my heart was feeling free The desert turned to mud it seems that everybody heard Everybody was remembering to forget they had the chills Then I heard the voices on a broadcast from up on the bird They were getting interviewed by some Goodman whose name was Bill I'm almost there to Vegas where they're puttin' on a show They've come so far I've lived this long at least I must go and say hello.
