Verse 1:
D MajorD G+G D MajorD
Well you don't see him much on the big screen anymore
D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD
The kids don't ride along with Roy or Gene
D MajorD G+G D MajorD
And that ain't really him with all those feathers in his hat
D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD
And some frenchman's name embroidered on his jeans
Chorus: (he does a walkup on the A augmentedA string 5,4 slide to 2)
E minorEm G+G D MajorD
But he's still out there ridin' fences
E minorEm G+G A augmentedA
Still makes his livin' with his rope
D MajorD G+G D MajorD
As long as there's a sunset he'll keep ridin' for the brand
D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD
You just can't see him from the road
D MajorD G+G D MajorD
Well he never learned to two step hell he barely learned to walk
D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD
But he's worn a lot of leather off the tree
D MajorD G+G D MajorD
He's had one or two good horses that he counts among his friends
D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD
He never drew a breath that wasn't free
Chorus:
D MajorD G+G D MajorD
Well he's tall in the saddle short on the cash
D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD
The last to quit the first to buy the beer
D MajorD G+G D MajorD
Well he's a knight in leather armor still livin' by the code
D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD
That's made him what he's been a hundred years

D MajorD (strum) G+G (strum) D MajorD
As long as there's a sunset he'll keep ridin' for the brand
D MajorD (strum) A augmentedA (strum) D MajorD (strum)
You just can't see him from the road
