Verse
E
Whatever happened to the end of the trail?
A
The gold strike, the gold spike, the want of a nail
B
And every brass rail my thirst ever rode
A E
And whatever happened to Rose?
E
And whatever happened to that panhandle town?
A
And where blew the ashes when the whole thing burned down?
B
Is there some valley my soul can repose?
A E
And whatever happened to Rose?
[Chorus]
A
She wouldn't have left me, she wasn't the type
E B
To do wrong to a heart that had loved her so strong
E
You have to know she wouldn't go
A
No, not without telling me why
A E
Searched every churchyard and honky tonk place
B7
For a name on a stone or a face
E
Or maybe just one last goodbye
A B A E (x2)
[Verse 2]
E
Sometimes along the trail side I'll find
A
C# poor unmarked grave and I lay down beside
B
And tell Rose I love her, then tell her goodbye
A E
And lay down, sleep there 'til the morning
A B A E
[Outro]
A E
And whatever happened to Rose?
A E
And whatever happened to Rose?
A E
And whatever happened to Rose?
