Waylon Jennings - Cowboys Last Song guitar chord

***chorus

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

D

He rides the feed lots,works in a market

A

On weekend selling tobacco and beer

A

He dreams of tommorrow surrounded by fences

D

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

D

He blazed the trail with Lewis and Clark

A

And eyeball to eyeball old Wyatt backed down

A

He stood shoulder to shoulder with Travis in Texas

D

And rode with the Seventh when Custer went down

***

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

D

Remington showed us how he looked on canvas

A

And Louis Lamour told us his tale

A

Me and Johnny and Waylon and Kris sing about him

D

And wish to God we could have ridden his trail

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

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
