Intro 1
(A minor) (C major) (D major) (E major)
Verse 1
Far across (A minor) the
Mississippi
Out (C major) on the open plain
In an (D major)
Oklahoma cow town
Where the sky (E major) begins to rain
In (A minor) a dusty rundown honky -tonk
Sits a (C major) driftin' tumbleweed
Thum (D major) b him through a magazine
he can't (E major) even read (A minor)
The tumbleweed remembers how the
West (C major) was won and lost
The
(D major) Homestead
Act and the
Dust
Bowl, everybody (E major) paid the cost
The (A minor) great white father promised to
treat his chil (C major) dren all the same
when
(D major) Indian
Territory was
(E major) Oklahoma's name
Tumble (F major) weed keeps rolling
he just roam (C major) s from town to town
It ain't (D minor) easy for a half -breed kid
to try (E major) and settle down
Tumble (F major) weed keeps rolling
he can't find (C major) no place to rest
because the (D minor) desert wind blows tumbleweed
(E major) the spirit of the (A minor) west (C major)
guitar solo (D major) (E major)
His boot (A minor) heels tap in time
to an old flat (C major) -top box guitar
He's a (D major) local guitar hero
And he sing (E major) s straight from the heart
And his tip (A minor) jar is just a jumble

Verse 2
Of (C major) worn -out dollar bills
Verse 3
As he makes (D major) his bread and grocery
Verse 4
In the (E major) local bar and (A minor) grill
Verse 5
(A minor)
When he starts pickin' that old guitar
Verse 6
The (C major) people turn and (A minor) stare
Verse 7
And (D major) he starts singin' them
songs he wrote
Verse 8
There's (E major) magic in the air
Verse 9
But (A minor) he can heal your wounded heart
He can set (C major) your spirit free (A minor)
He can raise (D major) your hopes to be
The very best (E major) that you can be
The (F major) tumbleweed keeps rollin'
He just roam (C major) s from town to town
It ain't (D minor) easy for a half -breed kid
To try (E major) and settle down
The (F major) tumbleweed keeps rollin'
He can't find (C major) no place to rest
Cause the (D minor) desert wind blows
Tumbleweed
(E major) The spirit of the
(A minor) West
. . (C major) (D major) (E major)
So when you (A minor) cross the
Mississippi
And you hit (C major) the open plains
You pass (D major) through
Indian territory
Where the sky (E major) begins to rain
And you're (A minor) feeling kind of rootless
And you can't (C major) find no place to nest
Just (D major) remember tumbleweed
(E major) The spirit of the
(A minor) West (C major)
Yeah, the (D major) desert wind
blows tumbleweed (E major)
The spirit of the
(A minor) West (C major)
Oh, the (D major) desert wind calls tumbleweed (E major) from
the spirit of the (A minor) west.
