Verse
D
Whatever happened to the end of the trail?
G
The gold strike, the gold spike, the want of a nail
A
And every brass rail my thirst ever rode
G D
And whatever happened to Rose?
D
And whatever happened to that panhandle town?
G
And where blew the ashes when the whole thing burned down?
A
Is there some valley my soul can repose?
G D
And whatever happened to Rose?
[Chorus]
G
She wouldn't have left me, she wasn't the type
D A
To do wrong to a heart that had loved her so strong
D
You have to know she wouldn't go
G
No, not without telling me why
G D
Searched every churchyard and honky tonk place
A7
For a name on a stone or a face
D
Or maybe just one last goodbye
G A G D (x2)
[Verse 2]
D
Sometimes along the trail side I'll find
G
B poor unmarked grave and I lay down beside
A
And tell Rose I love her, then tell her goodbye
G D
And lay down, sleep there 'til the morning
G A G D
[Outro]
G D
And whatever happened to Rose?
G D
And whatever happened to Rose?
G D
And whatever happened to Rose?
