Verse
F
Whatever happened to the end of the trail?
A#
The gold strike, the gold spike, the want of a nail
C
And every brass rail my thirst ever rode
A# F
And whatever happened to Rose?
F
And whatever happened to that panhandle town?
A#
And where blew the ashes when the whole thing burned down?
C
Is there some valley my soul can repose?
A# F
And whatever happened to Rose?
[Chorus]
A#
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
A#
No, not without telling me why
A# F
Searched every churchyard and honky tonk place
C7
For a name on a stone or a face
F
Or maybe just one last goodbye
A# C A# F (x2)
[Verse 2]
F
Sometimes along the trail side I'll find
A#
D poor unmarked grave and I lay down beside
C
And tell Rose I love her, then tell her goodbye
A# F
And lay down, sleep there 'til the morning
A# C A# F
[Outro]
A# F
And whatever happened to Rose?
A# F
And whatever happened to Rose?
A# F
And whatever happened to Rose?
