Point Your Wagon Tongue      Red Steagall

G+G                    C majorC       G+G
I hired on with col. Slaughter, driving steers to Abi lene
                       D MajorD
Green and wet behind the ears, a kid of seven teen
    G+G              C majorC       G+G
Though I was raised in Texas, I was not a seasoned hand
                 D MajorD         G+G
So I got the job of hoodilum, the coosies right hand man

G+G               C majorC       G+G
On the llano estecato, all you see is endless plains
                              D MajorD
You dread the sound of thunder, theres no shelter from the rain
  G+G                    C majorC        G+G
Now the coosie did a strange thing, when the evening meal was
done
                     D MajorD       G+G
He'd wait until the stars come out, then move the wagon tongue

G+G                     C majorC        G+G
He said there ain't no landmarks on these wide and rollin plains
                              D MajorD
There ain't no trees or mountains, so each day it looks the same
      G+G                C majorC
But you'll never lose direction and you'll know just where you are
     G+G               D MajorD           G+G
If you'll always point the wagon tongue, toward that ol' north
star

G+G              C majorC        G+G
Out along the Cimarron, one cold and stormy night
                              D MajorD
I watched the cattle stampede, through the lightnings eerie light
   G+G              C majorC       G+G
Took several days to round em up, get em settled down
                     D MajorD       G+G
And we followed in the wagon, through the soft and muddy ground

G+G                    C majorC        G+G
As we pushed the herd across the plains, we had no way to know
                        D MajorD
That we had drifted way of course, towards New Mexico
    G+G             C majorC          G+G
But the night the stars came out, his theory stood the test
               D MajorD       G+G
Abilene's up north of us, but we were headed west

G+G                     C majorC        G+G
He said there ain't no landmarks on these wide and rollin plains
                              D MajorD
There aint no trees or mountains, so each day it looks the same
      G+G                C majorC
But you'll never lose direction and you'll know just where you are
     G+G               D MajorD           G+G
If you'll always point the wagon tongue toward that ol' north
star

G+G                C majorC       G+G
My life has been a full one, my hair is turnin gray
                              D MajorD
And I've seen a lot of sunshine, but I've seen some cloudy days
   G+G               C majorC        G+G
For a while I wondered aimlessly and I still wear the scars
                    D MajorD           G+G
Of when I didn't point my wagon tongue, toward that ol' north star

G+G                C majorC           G+G
Cause life is like a grassy sea, the trail ain't always plain
                       D MajorD
One may lead to pleasure and another lead to pain
      G+G                C majorC
But you'll never lose direction and you'll know just where you are
     G+G                D MajorD           G+G
If you'll always point your wagon tongue, toward that ol' north
star

                      C majorC
Yes you'll never lose direction and you'll know just where you are
     G+G                D MajorD           G+G
If you'll always point your wagon tongue, toward that ol' north
star
