Guitar: I'm Going To The West (Including lyrics and chords)

I am still not quite over the bug that gave me a chesty cough and sore throat, but I thought I would try to see if I can manage to sing this one. It is a song that my friend Beastie introduced us to in the group 'The Cronk Illiam Scratchers', although her version is a little different to this one. Videos of this title are all similar treating this as a 'Bluegrass' song, so I am doing the same.
It seems that ever since the days of Columbus, people have been migrating to the west to find a new life, better than the one they are leaving behind. This song tells of that urge.

Another great song. Way to go.  Sickness here too. I know how you feel. Pneumonia and then 1 month later bronchitis! Can't wait to feel good again and play some more music!
