Verse
B
Whatever happened to the end of the trail?
E
The gold strike, the gold spike, the want of a nail
F#
And every brass rail my thirst ever rode
E B
And whatever happened to Rose?
B
And whatever happened to that panhandle town?
E
And where blew the ashes when the whole thing burned down?
F#
Is there some valley my soul can repose?
E B
And whatever happened to Rose?
[Chorus]
E
She wouldn't have left me, she wasn't the type
B F#
To do wrong to a heart that had loved her so strong
B
You have to know she wouldn't go
E
No, not without telling me why
E B
Searched every churchyard and honky tonk place
F#7
For a name on a stone or a face
B
Or maybe just one last goodbye
E F# E B (x2)
[Verse 2]
B
Sometimes along the trail side I'll find
E
G# poor unmarked grave and I lay down beside
F#
And tell Rose I love her, then tell her goodbye
E B
And lay down, sleep there 'til the morning
E F# E B
[Outro]
E B
And whatever happened to Rose?
E B
And whatever happened to Rose?
E B
And whatever happened to Rose?
