Boney M. - Going Back West: chords

G
I was born and raised in the ghetto
Talk with me and you'll know
C                                       G
I wasn't satisfied, with living on the side
                                          C
I started looking around, for a possibility
               G   D                   G
Listen to my story, of what became of me

I met a businessman
Who said he had some friends back east
So why don't you come along
Well we can help you at least
We'll make you into a big star
By playing your guitar
But the joke was on me
They left me flat to see

Chorus:
            D
Going back west
         C                   G
Yes, I know I'll make out alright
            D
Going back west
          C                   G
Where my music's playing all night
            C                D
Going back west (going back west)
                    G
I think I'll do alright - x2

Struggling for recognition, identity and respect
I got a lot of promises
They told me not to fret
So we will stand by you
If the going gets rough
But when I started thinking
They didn't even bluff

G#
'bout a year has come and gone,
and left me standing here
C#
Thinking how it could have been,
                     G#
for still I ain't nowhere
                                                C#
They surely took me for a ride, trampled on my pride
                   G#      D#
But I hold my head up high,
                      G#
got no more tears to cry

Chorus:
            D#
Going back west
         C#                  G#
Yes, I know I'll make out alright
            D#
Going back west
          C#                   G#
Where my music's playing all night
            C#               D#
Going back west (going back west)
                   G#
I think I'll do alright

           C#                D#
Going back west (going back west)
                   G#
I think I'll do alright
