Austin Lucas - Go West
Standard E-tuning
Capo V (but i play it with Capo II, sounds better i think)
Intro: D
F#m
Oh no malice does exist
Bm G
in these words I am now writing
Em
Although one might catch
A
the faintest glance at sorrow
Bm
I'm but trying hard to grasp
G
all these fragments as they're passing
Em
Piece the puzzle now
A
before the trail grows cold
G
And I'm not asking for the answers
F#m
in mathematical equations
Em D
to be culled and calculated
G
by unbiased hands
G
For at truth I am so stricken
A
And I dare only to forever dance
D G
Which proves I am the better broken half
A D
Oh and I am but the bitter better half
Bridge: D (play Intro and some tricky hammers :-) )
D F#m
In my callous speculations
Bm G
They leave no room for calm or reason
Em A
I have placed myself in altars that are hollow
Bm
So adept at finding weakness
G
I smell fear and close my fists
Em A
Unaware the stench I'm smelling is my own
G
So yeah, you left me and I'm bitter
F#m
And my pride is shocked and raw
E G
For I believe I will be changing roads no more
G
I know that life is full of dead ends
A
But I saw us as a highway
D G
Ever stretching on from coast to golden coast
A
Oh, but now instead I'm singin'
Refrain:
D A
Go west, Emily
G A
Grab your boots and find yourself somewhere
D A G
I'll find another lover in the east
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/a/austin_lucas/go_west_crd.html ]
D A
I said go west, Emily
Bm G
Yeah you know you've got my blessing
D A G
But you can't expect these eyes of mine
D
to watch you leave
F#m
So with no malice I'll begin
Bm G
just once more to tell our story
Em A
Though the ending I may never hope to know
Bm
You were a sweet and sound companion
G
Though our paths led us apart
Em A
And I may never sleep so soundly as I did while in your arms
G F#m
Now all I ask is you remember who you loved and who you lost
Em D
Please don't bury me in silence
G
Or blackest shroud of thought
G A
Don't pretend that what we had was any less than what it was
D G
For I will not soon be forgetting the reasons why
A
we fought so hard to make it work
Refrain:
D A
But Go west, Emily
G A
Grab your boots and find yourself somewhere
D A G
I'll find another lover in the east
D A
I said go west, Emily
Bm G
Yeah you know you've got my blessing
D A G
But you can't expect these eyes of mine
D
to watch you leave
to watch you leave
D A
Go west, Emily
G A
Grab your boots and find yourself somewhere
D A G
I'll find another lover in the east
D A
I said go west, Emily
Bm G
Yeah you know you've got my blessing
D A G
But you can't expect these eyes of mine
D
to watch you leave
