Chorus:
D
This is the last cowboy song
G
The end of a hundred year waltz
A7
The voices sound sad as they sing it along
D
Another piece of America’s lost
D
He blazed the trail with Lewis and Clark
A7
And eyeball to eyeball old Wyatt backed down
Stood shoulder to shoulder with Travis in Texas
D
And rode with the Seventh when Custer went down
Remington showed us how he looked on canvas
And Louis L’amour told us his tale
Roy and Gene and Rex sang about him
I wish to my God I could’ve ridden his trail
Now he rides the feed lots, works in a market
On weekend selling tobacco and beer
He dreams of tomorrow surrounded by fences
But he'll dream tonight of when fences weren't here
The old Chisholm Trail is covered in concrete
They truck it to market in fifty foot rigs
They roll by his graveside and don't even notice
Like living and dying was all that he did
Chorus (twice - audience to help)
[ending: strum D on last word “lost”, then pluck middle D, then long soft D strum]
