[Intro]
Cm Ab Eb Bb
(x3)
[Verse 1]
Cm Ab Eb Bb
I was born right here in Zion, God's own son
Cm AB EB Bb
His Holy Ghost stories and bloodshed never scared me none
Cm Ab
While they bowed their heads on Sunday
Eb Bb
I cut out through the hedges and fields
Cm Ab
Where the light could place its hands on my head
Eb Bb
In the west hills
[Chorus]
Cm Ab Eb Bb Bbsus4 Bb
Fr--ee in the west hills
Cm Ab Eb Bb
Fr--ee in the west hills
[Verse 2]
Cm Ab Eb Bb
She's got two full-grown children, one still on the vine
Cm Ab Eb Bb
And once I got to know him I loved him like he was mine
Cm Ab
Some nights we drive up the mouth of the canyon
Eb Bb
On hillbilly heroin pills
Cm Ab
We get out and watch the sunset
Eb Bb
Peaceful and still
[Chorus]
Cm Ab Eb Bb
And free in the west hills
Cm Ab Eb Bb
Fr--ee in the west hills
[Verse 3]
Cm Ab
When the sheriff kicked my door down
Eb Bb
I was sleeping in my own bed
Cm Ab
And the mess I got caught up in
Eb Bb
Rained hard down on my head
Cm Ab Eb Bb
They got me for possession of them hillbilly heroin pills
Cm Ab Eb Bb
Enough to kill the horses that run free in the west hills
Ab
They got me for possession of enough to kill the horses that run
[Chorus]
Cm Ab Eb Bb
Fr--ee in the west hills
Cm Ab Eb Bb
Fr--ee in the west hills
[Verse 4]
Cm Ab
If this life was meant for proving
Eb Bb
I could use more years to live
Cm Ab
But fifteen in a guardhouse
Eb Bb
That's more than I'm willing to give
Cm Ab
And if there really is a judgement
Eb Bb
When He pulls my chart
Cm Ab
He'll reject my actions
Eb Bb
But He will know my heart
Cm Ab
And he'll prepare a place for me
Eb Bb
Where happiness instills
Cm Ab
And the light puts its loving hands on my head
Eb Bb
Free in the west hills
Ab
They got me for possession of enough to kill the horses that run
[Chorus]
Cm Ab Eb Bb
Fr--ee in the west hills
Cm Ab Eb Bb
Fr--ee in the west hills
Cm Ab Eb Bb Cm Ab Eb Bb Cm Ab Eb Bb
Fr--ee, fr--ee in the west hills, in the west hills, in the west hills
I was born right here in Zion, God's own son
His Holy Ghost stories and bloodshed never scared me none
While they bowed their heads on Sunday
I cut out through the hedges and fields
Where the light could place its hands on my head
In the west hills
Free in the west hills
Free in the west hills
She's got two full-grown children, one still on the vine
And once I got to know him I loved him like he was mine
Some nights we drive up the mouth of the canyon
On hillbilly heroin pills
We get out and watch the sunset
Peaceful and still
And free in the west hills
Free in the west hills
When the sheriff kicked my door down
I was sleeping in my own bed
And the mess I got caught up in
Rained hard down on my head
They got me for possession of them hillbilly heroin pills
Enough to kill the horses that run free in the west hills
They got me for possession of enough to kill the horses that run
Free in the west hills
Free in the west hills
If this life was meant for proving
I could use more years to live
But fifteen in a guardhouse
That's more than I'm willing to give
And if there really is a judgement
When He pulls my chart

But He will know my heart
And he'll prepare a place for me
Where happiness instills
And the light puts its loving hands on my head
Free in the west hills
They got me for possession of enough to kill the horses that run
Free in the west hills
Free in the west hills
Free, free in the west hills, in the west hills, in the west hills
