[Chorus]
F CWish I coulda seen it just as they did
G Am GLookin' over God’s country sittin' top of a ridge
F CBy the seat of a horse or an old wagon train
G Am GOn that sea of prairie settin sail ‘cross the plains
F CChasin' the sun, headin' westbound for more
G Am GOut where the mountains and the eagles Do soar
F C G Am G
[Verse]
F CWish I’da seen the Missouri, before she was dammed
G Am G'Fore the sod was all busted and the train made its tracks
F CThe range was still open and free from that wire
G Am GWhen the law was your own and guns were for hire
F CThe great herds were plenty and the Sioux followed close
G Am GStill dance 'round their fires, and the pipe was still smoked
[Instrumental]

[Verse]
F CAnd now all I see is a canyon that's paved
G Am GAnd them faces they carved on the rocks that God made
F CThe lights of the sky ain’t just moon, sun and stars
G Am GAnd their promised land somehow became ours
F COh what I’d give just for one glimpse
G Am GAt the West that once was and the way life was lived
