after watching ’way out west’ , i had an urge to learn the timeless song which stan
and oliver sing at the saloon . i found these chords on the internet , as they
weren’t in the tabs library , and thought i’d put it into guitar tabs format so
that others may enjoy this excellent campfire song .

i do not claim ownership of this work . the website on which i found these chords is below :
