Verse
A#
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
A#
But he'll dream tonight of when fences weren't here
A#
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
A#
And rode with the Seventh when Custer went down
[Chorus]
A#
This is the last cowboy song
D#
The end of a hundred year waltz
F
Voices sound sad as they're singing along
A#
Another piece of America's lost
[Verse 2]
A#
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
A#
And wish to God we could have ridden his trail
[Bridge]
A#
The Old Chisholm Trail is covered in concrete now
D#
And they truck 'em to market in fifty foot rigs
F
They just blow by his market never slowing to reason
A#
Like living and dying was all he did
[Chorus]
A#
This is the last cowboy song
D#
The end of a hundred year waltz
F
Voices sound sad as they're singing along
A#
Another piece of America's lost
[Outro]
A# D# A#
This is the last cowboy song
