Highwaymen - The Last Cowboy Song 2 guitar tab

Kris Kristofferson

Johnny Cash

Willie Nelson

Chorus (all together):

D

This is the last cowboy song

G

The end of a hundred year waltz

A

The voices sound sad as they're singing along

D

Another piece of America is lost

Verse 1:(Waylon Jennings)

D

He rides the feed lots,works in a market

A

On weekend selling tobacco and beer

He dreams of tommorrow surrounded by fences

D

But he'll dream tonight of when fences weren't here

Verse 2:(Kris Kristofferson)

D

He blazed the trail with Lewis and Clark

A

And eyeball to eyeball old Wyatt backed down

He stood shoulder to shoulder with Travis in Texas

D

And rode with the Seventh when Custer went down

Chorus.

Verse 3:(Willie Nelson)

D

Remington showed us how he looked on canvas

A

And Louis Lamour told us his tale

Me and Johnny and Waylon and Kris sing about him

D

And wish to God we could have ridden his trail

Verse 4:(spoken-Johnny Cash) and the three others sing the chorus.

D

The old chisom trail is covered in concrete

G

They truck it to market in fifty foot rigs

A

They roll by his graveside and don't even notice

D

Like living and dieing was all he ever did

Chorus.

Thanks to David M. Potter for the lyrics.
