D A Bm F#m
Go west
paradise is there
you'll have all that you can eat
of milk and honey over there

D A Bm F#m
you'll be the brightest star
the world has ever seen
sun-baked slender heroine
of film and magazine

D A Bm F#m
go west
paradise is there
you'll have all that you can eat
of milk and honey over there

D A Bm F#m
you'll be the brightest light
the world has ever seen
the dizzy height of a jet-set life
you could never dream

D A E F#m
your pale blue eyes
strawberry hair
lips so sweet
skin so fair

D A E F#m 
your future bright
beyond compare
it's rags to riches
over there



D A Bm F#m 
San Andreas Fault
moved it's fingers
through the ground
earth divided
plates collided
such an awful sound

D A Bm F#m
San Andreas Fault
moved its fingers
through the ground
terra cotta shattered
and walls came
tumbling down

D A E F#m
oh promised land
o wicked ground
build a dream
tear it down

D A E F#m
oh promised land
what a wicked ground
build a dream
watch it fall down
