Version 1
[Intro]
Bm G D A x3
[Verse 1]
Bm G D A
I was born right here in Zion, God's own son
Bm G D A
His Holy Ghost stories and bloodshed never scared me none
Bm G D A
While they bowed their heads on Sunday I cut out through the hedges and fields
Bm G D A
Where the light could place its hands on my head in the West Hills
[Chorus]
Bm G D A Asus4 A
Fr--ee in the West Hills
Bm G D A
Fr--ee in the West Hills
[Verse 2]
Bm G D A
She's got two full-grown children, one still on the vine
Bm G D A
And once I got to know him I loved him like he was mine
Bm G D A
Some nights we drive up the mouth of the canyon on hillbilly heroin pills
Bm G D A
We get out and watch the sunset, peaceful and still
[Chorus]
Bm G D A
And free in the West Hills
Bm G D A
Fr--ee in the West Hills
[Verse 3]
Bm G D A
When the sheriff kicked my door down, I was sleeping in my own bed
Bm G D A
And the mess I got caught up in, rained hard down on my head
Bm G D A
They got me for possession of them hillbilly heroin pills
Bm G D A
Enough to kill the horses that run free in the west hills
[Link]
G
They got me for possession of enough to kill the horses that run
[Chorus]
Bm G D A
Fr--ee in the West Hills
Bm G D A
Fr--ee in the West Hills
[Verse 4]
Bm G D A
If this life was meant for proving I could use more years to live
Bm G D A
But fifteen in a guardhouse, that's more than I'm willing to give
Bm G D A
And if there really is a judgement, when He pulls my chart
Bm G D A
He'll reject my actions, but He will know my heart
Bm G D A
And he'll prepare a place for me, where happiness instills
Bm G D A
And the light puts its loving hands on my head, free in the West Hills
[Link]
G
They got me for possession of enough to kill the horses that run
[Chorus]
Bm G D A
Fr--ee in the West Hills
Bm G D A
Fr--ee in the West Hills
[Outro]
Bm G D A
Fr--ee, fr--ee
Bm G D A
in the West Hills, in the West Hills,
Bm G D A
in the West Hills, in the West Hills,
Bm G D A
