By Dwight Yoakam
Capo 2 (Or play open E chords)
In the [D]late, great [G]golden [D]state
It gettin [Bm]hard to [A]negoti[D]ate
When youre [D]one slip from a [G]grim [D]fate
In the [Bm]late, great [A]golden [D]state
In the late, great golden state
I dont do much but Im always late
I aint old, just out of date
In the late, great golden state
Bridge:
I got [Bm]one last [A]glimpse of the Pala[G]mino
When I [Bm]drove out [A]west to see the purple [G]sage
Then as the [D]canyons [G]burned and the [D]mountains [G]crumbled
The [G]last cowboy band left the [A]stage
[D]I aint old, just [G]out of d[D]ate
In the [Bm]late, great [A]golden [D]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
