CAPO I
INTRO: D
CHORUS:
[D]This is the last cowboy song
The end of a hundred year [G]waltz
The [A7]music is sad as they're singin' along
Another piece of America's [D]lost
[D]He rides the feedlot, clerks in a market
On weekends sellin' tobacco and [A7]beer
His days are spent surrounded by fences
But he'll dream tonight of when fences weren't [D]here[G][D]
[D]The Old Chisholm Trail is covered by concrete
They drive [A7]'em to market in fifty foot rigs
They'll roll by his graveside and they don't even notice
Like livin' and dyin' was all that he [D]did
CHORUS
(KEY CHANGE)
[E]This is the last cowboy song
The end of a hundred year [A]waltz
The [B7]voices are sad as they're singin' along
Another piece of America's [E]lost
E A B7 E (repeat and fade)
This is the last cowboy song
