Capo on 4th
G is played without fretting the high E and a hammeron on the A string.
G(I am here)           Am  
I am here to announce the journey
G(You are here)Am  
To call it blessed
E(We are here)Am  G  
We are here to return to our mother
CAnd journey west
AmMy mind is on the tracks, my friend
GMy trumpet’s blown its coAmurse
AmAnd heaven forgive, I’m headed west
GIt’s the way of the sun Amand the source
GI’ve drummed from Ambounty’s brimming cup
GI’ve supped the Amluck I’m due
AmAnd with timeliness and fire afoot'
GGo ask my marching cAmrew
EGo ask for John and Amask for Krishna
EAsk for all the saiAmnts
EWade me through the Amwater, mama
EBrush me with the painDmt
(I am here)
I am here to announce the journey
(You are here)
To call it blessed
(We are here)
We are here to return to our mother
And journey west
I’m none of all that’s made
And yet I know it as myself
For there’s a bright side of the moon
That isn’t anything of wealth
Until we know it as the sun
Upon the void that we might sense
Each time the tide begins to turn it up
To push us off the fence of cruel indifference
Apathetic in the closets of our souls
With locks to open
Molds to break
All with the key of fol-de-rol
(I am here)
I am here to announce the journey
(You are here)
To call it blessed
(We are here)
We are here to return to our mother
And journey west
I’m heading west, it’s just a song
I’m heading west, it’s only life
I’m heading west, it’s what’s not wrong 
I’m heading west, it’s only right
I’m heading west, it’s just a song
I’m heading west, it’s only life
I’m heading west, it’s what’s not wrong 
I’m heading west, it’s only right
(I am here)
I am here to announce the journey
(You are here)
To call it blessed
(We are here)
We are here to return to our mother
And journey west

My trumpet’s blown its course

And heaven forgive, I’m headed west

I’m none of all that’s made

And yet I know it as myself

For there’s a bright side of the moon

That isn’t anything of wealth

Until we know it as the sun

Upon the void that we might sense

Each time the tide begins to turn it up

To push us off the fence of cruel indifference

Apathetic in the closets of our souls

With locks to open

Molds to break

All with the key of fol-de-rol

(I am here)

I am here to announce the journey

To call it blessed

I’m heading west, it’s just a song

I’m heading west, it’s only life

I’m heading west, it’s what’s not wrong

I’m heading west, it’s only right

(I am here)

I am here to announce the journey

(You are here)

To call it blessed

(We are here)

We are here to return to our mother

And journey west
