[Verse 1]
I was Gthirsty, I was lost, I was Am7hanging on a cross
I was D7dying to make it back, to ColorCa-dGo
GBones in a saddle, I was Am7weary from the battle
The D7path was much too difficult to Cfo-Gllow
[Chorus 1]
Come on GUtah, get me over that Chill
We got Dten more miles, gonna turn that dial and we Cnever coming back aGgain
Come on GUtah, race me over that Cledge
I wanna Dsee my son and carry my gun, like a Creal AmeriGcan
[Break]
G     Am7    D7   C    G
[Verse 2]
The Gwar had come and gone, and all the Am7lost ones had moved on,
They would D7gather on the hill, to tell a Csto-Gry
UGtah! was his name, with a Am7calico mane
He was D7shot out of a cannon in the Cmor-Gning
Well he Gsauntered to my side, and I Am7fell into his eyes
And D7in them I saw fire mixed with Cmu-Gsic
So I Gclimbed up on his back, and we Am7lighted down the track
And I D7yelled his name out so loud, everybody Cknew Git
[Chorus 2]
I said, Come on GUtah, race me over that Chill
AlbuDquerque, Santa Fe, and on Cup the Rio GGrande
Come on GUtah, race me over that Chill
I’m a Dweary mile, I’m a jealous child, I got Csunshine on my Gskin
[Bridge]
But the Chill is steep, and my arms are weak
And I’m A7out of breath and there’s nothing left
But this Cwind at my back, water in my pack
And a Dhorse with a will like a cannon
[Break]
G     Am7    D7   C    G
GWooo! Come on Utah!Am7  D7  C  G  
[Outro]
I was Gthirsty, I was lost, I was Am7hanging on a cross
I was D7dying to make it back, to ColorCa-dGo
