        E            A     E          C#m            B      E
In the late great golden state It's getting hard to negoti-ate 
E                             A    E          C#m         B      E

In the late great golden state I don't do much but I'm always late
E                 A       E          C#m         B      E

CHORUS:
         C#m        B                 A
I caught one last glimpse of a palom-ino  (palomino)
         C#m       B                     A      
When I drove out west to see the purple sage  (purple sage)
              C#m     B                         E      
Then as the canyons burned and the mountains crumbled
    F#m                         B
The last cowboy band left the stage 
       C#m            A      E                  C#m          B     E

But leave your expectatioons at the gate Of the late great golden state cause
E                                  A         E 
They can pack you up and send you home in a crate
             C#m         B      E
Stamped the late great golden state
