[Intro]
Am F C G
Am F C G
[Verse 1]
Am F
I was born right here in Zion,
C G
God's own son
Am F
His Holy Ghost stories and bloodshed
C G
never scared me none
Am F
While they bowed their heads on Sunday
C G
I cut out through the hedges and fields
Am
Where the light could place
F
its hands on my head
C G
In the west hills
[Chorus]
Am F C G Gsus4 G
Fr--ee in the west hills
Am F C G
Fr--ee in the west hills
[Verse 2]
Am F C
She's got two full-grown children,
G
one still on the vine
Am F C
And once I got to know him I loved
G
him like he was mine
Am
Some nights we drive
F
up the mouth of the canyon
C G
On hillbilly heroin pills
Am F
We get out and watch the sunset
C G
Peaceful and still
[Chorus]
Am F C G
And free in the west hills
Am F C G
Fr--ee in the west hills
[Verse 3]
Am F
When the sheriff kicked my door down
C G
I was sleeping in my own bed
Am F
And the mess I got caught up in
C G
Rained hard down on my head
Am F
They got me for possession of them
C G
hillbilly heroin pills
Am F
Enough to kill the horses
C
that run free
G
in the west hills
F
They got me for possession of
enough to kill the
horses that run
[Chorus]
Am F C G
Fr--ee in the west hills
Am F C G
Fr--ee in the west hills
[Verse 4]
Am F
If this life was meant for proving
C G
I could use more years to live
Am F
But fifteen in a guardhouse
C G
That's more than I'm willing to give
Am F
And if there really is a judgement
C G
When He pulls my chart
Am F
He'll reject my actions
C G
But He will know my heart
Am F
And he'll prepare a place for me
C G
Where happiness instills
Am
And the light puts its loving
F
hands on my head
C G
Free in the west hills
F
They got me for possession of
enough to kill the
horses that run
[Chorus]
Am F C G
Fr--ee in the west hills
Am F C G
Fr--ee in the west hills
Am F C G Am
Fr--ee, fr--ee in the west hills,
F C G
in the west hills,
Am F C G
in the west hills
