Verse
C
Whatever happened to the end of the trail?
F
The gold strike, the gold spike, the want of a nail
G
And every brass rail my thirst ever rode
F C
And whatever happened to Rose?
C
And whatever happened to that panhandle town?
F
And where blew the ashes when the whole thing burned down?
G
Is there some valley my soul can repose?
F C
And whatever happened to Rose?
[Chorus]
F
She wouldn't have left me, she wasn't the type
C G
To do wrong to a heart that had loved her so strong
C
You have to know she wouldn't go
F
No, not without telling me why
F C
Searched every churchyard and honky tonk place
G7
For a name on a stone or a face
C
Or maybe just one last goodbye
F G F C (x2)
[Verse 2]
C
Sometimes along the trail side I'll find
F
A poor unmarked grave and I lay down beside
G
And tell Rose I love her, then tell her goodbye
F C
And lay down, sleep there 'til the morning
F G F C
[Outro]
F C
And whatever happened to Rose?
F C
And whatever happened to Rose?
F C
And whatever happened to Rose?
