The Late Great Golden State
By Dwight Yoakam

Capo 2 (Or play open E chords)

       D           G      D  
In the late, great golden state
           Bm      A     D
It gettin’ hard to negotiate
            D               G    D
When you’re one slip from a grim fate
       Bm          A      D 
In the late, great golden state

In the late, great golden state
I don’t do much but I’m always late
I ain’t old, just out of date
In the late, great golden state


Bridge:
      Bm       A                  G
I got one last glimpse of the Palamino
       Bm        A                      G
When I drove out west to see the purple sage
            D        G              D         G  
Then as the canyon’s burned and the mountains crumbled
    G                         A
The last cowboy band left the stage

D                 G       D 
I ain’t old, just out of date
       Bm          A      D  
In the late, great golden state

Solo

Bridge

Yeah the late, great golden state
Is a nice place for a clean slate
But leave your expectations at the gate
Of the late, great golden state
They can pack you up and send you home in crate
Stamped the late, great golden state
