G+G

Verse 1:
     D MajorD           B minorBm
He got busted up bad down in Lubbock
     G+G            D MajorD
He was taking the greyhound back home.
      B minorBm     A augmentedA     G+G
Though the fire in his eye never flickered,
      B minorBm      A augmentedA       G+G
He knew the best of his good days were gone,
       D MajorD          B minorBm
He said I'm thinking a lot about retiring,
     G+G            D MajorD
But the rodeo life is all that I know,
    B minorBm    A augmentedA      G+G
hey an' I don't know what to do with the rest,
     B minorBm     A augmentedA    G+G
But I'm too burned out to go on.

He said,

Chorus:
 D MajorD         A augmentedA
Scatter the ashes over the road,
 B minorBm           G+G
Then let a strong wind blow,
    D MajorD
When I can't walk away,
A augmentedA        B minorBm  G+G
It's my time to go.

     D MajorD          B minorBm
He said son my road map to heaven
      G+G         D MajorD
Sometimes leads me out of the way
        B minorBm  A augmentedA        G+G
Through those rodeo towns and those drunkin' old sundowns
 B minorBm      A augmentedA  G+G
Someday to an early grave.
        D MajorD          B minorBm
He pulled his saddle up over his shoulder,
      G+G             D MajorD
An' said before you throw dirt on my bones,
       B minorBm     A augmentedA      G+G
Hey tell me what do you do with a broken old cowboy.
    B minorBm       A augmentedA      G+G
Who's spent his whole life being thrown.
