Verse
G
Whatever happened to the end of the trail?
C
The gold strike, the gold spike, the want of a nail
D
And every brass rail my thirst ever rode
C G
And whatever happened to Rose?
G
And whatever happened to that panhandle town?
C
And where blew the ashes when the whole thing burned down?
D
Is there some valley my soul can repose?
C G
And whatever happened to Rose?
[Chorus]
C
She wouldn't have left me, she wasn't the type
G D
To do wrong to a heart that had loved her so strong
G
You have to know she wouldn't go
C
No, not without telling me why
C G
Searched every churchyard and honky tonk place
D7
For a name on a stone or a face
G
Or maybe just one last goodbye
C D C G (x2)
[Verse 2]
G
Sometimes along the trail side I'll find
C
E poor unmarked grave and I lay down beside
D
And tell Rose I love her, then tell her goodbye
C G
And lay down, sleep there 'til the morning
C D C G
[Outro]
C G
And whatever happened to Rose?
C G
And whatever happened to Rose?
C G
And whatever happened to Rose?
