The Last Cowboy Song

all together):
        Thi[D]s is the last cowboy song
        The end of a hundred year wa[G]ltz
        The vo[A]ices sound sad as they're singing along
        Another piece of America is l[D]ost

(Waylon Jennings)
        He r[D]ides the feed lots,works in a market
        On weekend selling tobacco and [A]beer

        He dreams of tommorrow surrounded by fences
        But he'll dream tonight of when fences weren't h[D]ere

(Kris Kristofferson)
        He [D]blazed the trail with Lewis and Clark
        And eyeball to eyeball old Wyatt backed d[A]own

        He stood shoulder to shoulder with Travis in Texas
        And rode with the Seventh when Custer went d[D]own

Chorus.

(Willie Nelson)
        Rem[D]ington showed us how he looked on canvas
        And Louis Lamour told us his t[A]ale

        Me and Johnny and Waylon and Kris sing about him
        And wish to God we could have ridden his tr[D]ail

(spoken-Johnny Cash) and the three others sing the chorus.
        The[D] old chisom trail is covered in concrete
        They truck it to market in fifty foot r[G]igs
        The[A]y roll by his graveside and don't even notice
        Like living and dieing was all he ever [D]did

Chorus.
