Verse
B
He rides a feed lot and clerks in a market
F#
On weekends selling tobacco and beer
F#
His dreams of tomorrow surrounded by fences
B
But he'll dream tonight of when fences weren't here
B
He blazed the trail with Lewis and Clark
F#
And eyeball to eyeball Ol' Wyatt backed down
F#
He stood shoulder to shoulder with Travis in Texas
B
And rode with the Seventh when Custer went down
[Chorus]
B
This is the last cowboy song
E
The end of a hundred year waltz
F#
Voices sound sad as they're singing along
B
Another piece of America's lost
[Verse 2]
B
Remington showed us how he looked on canvas
F#
And Louis L'Amour has told us his tale
F#
And Willie and Waylon and me sing about him
B
And wish to God we could have ridden his trail
[Bridge]
B
The Old Chisholm Trail is covered in concrete now
E
And they truck 'em to market in fifty foot rigs
F#
They just blow by his market never slowing to reason
B
Like living and dying was all he did
[Chorus]
B
This is the last cowboy song
E
The end of a hundred year waltz
F#
Voices sound sad as they're singing along
B
Another piece of America's lost
[Outro]
B E B
This is the last cowboy song
