Verse
A
Whatever happened to the end of the trail?
D
The gold strike, the gold spike, the want of a nail
E
And every brass rail my thirst ever rode
D A
And whatever happened to Rose?
A
And whatever happened to that panhandle town?
D
And where blew the ashes when the whole thing burned down?
E
Is there some valley my soul can repose?
D A
And whatever happened to Rose?
[Chorus]
D
She wouldn't have left me, she wasn't the type
A E
To do wrong to a heart that had loved her so strong
A
You have to know she wouldn't go
D
No, not without telling me why
D A
Searched every churchyard and honky tonk place
E7
For a name on a stone or a face
A
Or maybe just one last goodbye
D E D A (x2)
[Verse 2]
A
Sometimes along the trail side I'll find
D
F# poor unmarked grave and I lay down beside
E
And tell Rose I love her, then tell her goodbye
D A
And lay down, sleep there 'til the morning
D E D A
[Outro]
D A
And whatever happened to Rose?
D A
And whatever happened to Rose?
D A
And whatever happened to Rose?
