East is east and west is west and the wrong one I have chose 
Bb                  F   
Let's go where I'll keep on wearin' 
      Bb         F           Bb          F 
Those frills and flowers and buttons and bows 
Bb        F          C           F  
Rings and things and buttons and bows 
F 
Don't bury me in this prairie, take me where the cement grows 
Bb                 F 
Let's move down to some big town 
           Bb     F          Bb         F  
Where they love a gal by the cut of her clothes 
    Bb         F      C           F 
And I'll stand out in buttons and bows 
F                                                              C 
I'll love you in buckskin or skirts that I've homespun 
         F                C 
But I'll love you longer, stronger where 
     G                    C 
Your friends don't tote a gun 
F 
My bones denounce the buckboard, bounce and the cactus hurts my toes 
Bb                  F  
Let's vamoose where gals keep usin' 
      Bb        F          Bb         F    
Those silks and satins and linen that shows 
    Bb      F        C           F 
And I'm all yours in buttons and bows 
F 
My bones denounce the buckboard bounce, and the cactus hurts my toes 
Bb                  F  
Let's vamoose where gals keep usin' 
      Bb        F          Bb         F    
Those silks and satins and linen that shows 
    Bb      F        C           F 
And I'm all yours in buttons and bows 
Bb                           F 
Gimme eastern trimmin' where women are women 
Bb                    F 
In high silk hose and peek-a-boo clothes 
Bb                      F 
And French perfume that rocks the room 
Bb          F        Bb          F 
And I'm all yours in buttons and bows 
Bb          F     C           F 
Buttons and bows, buttons and bows  
C           F     C           F 
Buttons and bows, buttons and bows
