Chords with lyrics
Chorus:
D MajorD
This is the last cowboy song
G+G
The end of a hundred year waltz
A augmentedA
The voices sound sad as they're singing along
D MajorD
Another piece of America is lost
D MajorD
He rides the feed lots,works in a market
A augmentedA
On weekend selling tobacco and beer
A augmentedA
He dreams of tommorrow surrounded by fences
D MajorD
But he'll dream tonight of when fences weren't here
D MajorD
He blazed the trail with Lewis and Clark
A augmentedA
And eyeball to eyeball old Wyatt backed down
A augmentedA
He stood shoulder to shoulder with Travis in Texas
D MajorD
And rode with the Seventh when Custer went down
D MajorD
This is the last cowboy song
G+G
The end of a hundred year waltz
A augmentedA
The voices sound sad as they're singing along
D MajorD
Another piece of America is lost
D MajorD
Remington showed us how he looked on canvas
A augmentedA
And Louis Lamour told us his tale
A augmentedA
Me and Johnny and Waylon and Kris sing about him
D MajorD
And wish to God we could have ridden his trail
D MajorD
The old chisom trail is covered in concrete
G+G
They truck it to market in fifty foot rigs
A augmentedA
They roll by his graveside and don't even notice
D MajorD
Like living and dieing was all he ever did
Chorus:
D MajorD
This is the last cowboy song
G+G
The end of a hundred year waltz
A augmentedA
The voices sound sad as they're singing along
D MajorD
