To Quickdraw Southpaw's Wild West Show

The range is fenced and the west is tamed"

"Daddy, oh daddy, didn't you know
   A minorAm    C majorC      G+G    C majorC
There ain't no fences in a cowboy's soul"


Chorus:
E minorEm  FF         C majorC
Whoa boys, look at him ride
   A minorAm   C majorC      DmDm   G+G
On a sawdust prairie in a big top sky
E minorEm  FF          C majorC
Whoa boys, the whole town saw
  FF   C majorC       G+G   FF
The first ovation to the final call

And Quickdraw Southpaw's last hurrah

Verse 3:
              FF     C majorC
Billy signed on the day he turned sixteen
A minorAm      C majorC      DmDm   G+G
Didn't know a cinch from a latigo lead
    C majorC            FF     C majorC
But he learned how to rope, to canter and shoot
    A minorAm       C majorC       G+G     C majorC
Till he looked right familiar in the boss man's boots

Chorus:
E minorEm  FF         C majorC
Whoa boys, look at him ride
   A minorAm   C majorC      DmDm   G+G
On a sawdust prairie in a big top sky
E minorEm  A minorAm    FF      E minorEm
Whoa boys, the heart walks tall
    FF     C majorC     G+G      FF
From an old man's folly to a young man's fall
             G+G    C majorC
And Quickdraw Southpaw's last hurrah


Instrumental:
C majorC FF C majorC  A minorAm C majorC G+G C majorC


{Bridge]
A minorAm           E minorEm
Double trouble and the Texas skip
  FF             C majorC
He worked the circuit on the hayseed strip
  A minorAm        E minorEm
The carney route over New Madrid
  FF                  C majorC
For fifty good years he was the two-gun kid


Verse 4:
  C majorC                FF     C majorC
For fifty good years he watched the clock wind down
A minorAm     C majorC       DmDm    G+G
Skyscrapers climbing over one-horse towns
  C majorC            FF     C majorC
The times got meaner and the crowds got small
A minorAm     C majorC     G+G     C majorC
Billy never seemed to notice at all


Chorus:
E minorEm  FF         C majorC
Whoa, boys, look at him ride
   A minorAm   C majorC      DmDm   G+G
On a sawdust prairie in a big top sky
E minorEm  A minorAm    FF     E minorEm
Whoa, boys, you can't get far
   FF     C majorC     G+G    FF
On a bone-tired pony and a falling star
             G+G    C majorC
And Quickdraw Southpaw's last hurrah


Instrumental:
E minorEm FF C majorC A minorAm E minorEm FF G+G


Verse 5:
    C majorC              FF    C majorC
Now his spurs don't jingle like they used to do
  A minorAm    C majorC        G+G     C majorC
The sky's in tatters and the moon peeks through
            FF   C majorC
Every night he saddles up old Joe
    A minorAm    C majorC       G+G    C majorC
Saying, "Giddy-up partner, just one more show"


Verse 6:
              FF     C majorC
Up in the bleachers in the very front row
    A minorAm    C majorC      DmDm    G+G
Sits a wide-eyed boy with his daddy in tow
    C majorC          FF    C majorC
And the kid goes home and he dreams again
   A minorAm   C majorC      G+G    C majorC
Of a lonely rider on the wayward wind
     FF          G+G    C majorC
He says, "Some day I'm gonna be like him"


Chorus:
E minorEm  FF         C majorC
Whoa boys, look at him ride
   A minorAm   C majorC      DmDm   G+G
On a sawdust prairie in a big top sky
E minorEm  A minorAm      FF    E minorEm
Whoa, boys, it's a natural law
  FF      C majorC        G+G    FF
The dream keeps going though the dreamer stalls
                G+G    FF
And the night comes in and the curtain falls
             G+G    C majorC
And Quickdraw Southpaw's last hurrah


Outro:
