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