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