Intro 
  N.C.    Dm       C    G 
Folks, we finally got a headline 
         Dm          C    D 
"Newsies Crushed as Bulls Attack" 
  N.C.      C 
Crutchie's calling me 
Dm                         D 
Dumb crip's just too damn slow 
Am        Dm        C       G 
Guys are fightin', bleedin', fallin' 
C          D         Am     D 
Thanks to good old Captain Jack 
N.C. 
Captain Jack just wants to close his eyes and go! 


[Pré-Refrão]

D      G       Em 
Let me go far away 
            C          D      G 
Somewhere they won't ever find me 
G    Em            C       D  Am 
And tomorrow won't remind me of today 
Am      C       D      G 
And the city's finally sleepin' 
         C         Am        D 
And the moon looks old and grey 
      Em                C               D 
I get on a train that's bound for Santa Fe 


[Refrão]
 
        G             Em 
And I'm gone, and I'm done 
  G     C         D       G 
No more running, no more lying 
         C            D           G 
No more fat old man denying me my pay 
Em      C     D      G       Am 
Just a moon so big and yellow, it turns 
C           D     G 
night right into day 
D          G 
Dreams come true 
G       Em 
Yeah, they do 
   C D   G 
In Santa Fe 
 


[Verso 1]
 
Em                          G      Em 
Where does it say you gotta live and die here? 
Em                                      G 
Where does it say a guy can't catch a break? 
Em 
Why should you only take what you're given? 
G 
Why should you spend your whole life living 
Em                            G 
Trapped where there ain't no future? 
Em 
Even at 17 
Em                     G            Em 
Breaking your back for someone else's sake! 
Em       E 
If the life don't seem to suit you, how about a change of scene 
E                    E                E          E 
Far from the lousy headlines and the deadlines in between? 
 


[Ponte]
 
E      A         A 
Santa Fe, my old friend 
A        D        E          A 
I can't spend my whole life dreaming 
         D           E    A               D 
Though I know that's all I seem inclined to do 
D        A     E      A            D 
I ain't getting any younger and I wanna 
             A 
start brand new 
   E     A 
I need space 
          A 
And fresh air 
D        A 
Let 'em laugh in my face 
D       A 
I don't care 
E      A 
Save my place 
D       A 
I'll be there 

{Final Bridge} 
D       A     E          A 
Just be real is all I'm asking 
D        A       E        A 
Not some painting in my head 
D                                        A 
'Cause I'm dead if I can't count on you today 
D       Am         D7        Dmaj7 A 
I got nothing if I ain't got Santa Fe
