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