There you go.
[N] Jim, you're the best.
You really are the best.
Am I broken heart?
No.
No, you're the best.
No, no, we don't have to make you the best.
You're the best.
Y'all, thank you so much.
Thanks.
It was so much fun playing here [G] tonight.
And I mean, I can say it again.
You know, the technical crew is tremendous.
The venue couldn't be beat.
Our host and y'all are tremendous.
[A] And the food was amazing.
Oh, yeah, [C] yeah.
[Bm] Food was [A] amazing.
Except for that cake.
It [C] wasn't any [A] good.
Yeah.
You better let us take that home.
[Am] Yeah.
I [A]
[Bb] had the thrill of being able to hear George Strait sing this song.
He named his farewell tours after it.
So for two years, it's been everywhere, all over the place.
So thank you so much, George.
At Bayou Fest in Baton Rouge, he did, I don't know,
it's about the fourth or fifth last concert he was going to do.
But I grew up in Baton Rouge.
I [A] grew up, I get in trouble every time I say this anywhere but Baton Rouge.
And we were in Alabama again.
Yeah, yeah, I know, I know, I know.
But I just, when I was in high school, I was at the university high school,
LSU University High School.
So I had a student pass to all of the games at LSU Stadium.
So I was at every one of those games.
I saw Billy [Bm] Cannon run for 87 yards and defeat Ole Miss back in 58.
And there and all of that sort of thing.
But they had Bayou Fest there, which is a big celebration to have,
and he played there after Reba.
We saw Reba, and Reba has an opening act.
And there were 94,000 people
[G] singing this song.
I almost missed the moment.
I was trying to get George on my iPhone, and it was like glaring,
and the lights were on, and I was [C] like, oh, God, [D] this is [Eb] the moment.
I was all [Bb] stressed out, and [F] I just sort of heard [G] someone behind me singing.
So I put my phone down, and I looked around, and like literally the entire stadium.
Everywhere you could see.
Literally the entire stadium was singing.
So I didn't miss the moment at all.
So feel free to sing along.
Feel free to sing along.
Feel free to sing along.
Yeah, right.
Please.
And thank you all so much.
We look forward to [F] the next [A] time.
[G]
Thank you.

I [G] [C] [D]
[Em] [D] [C]
[G] [C] [G]
knew the stakes were high right from the [C] start.
[G] [C] [G]
[D] When she dealt the cards, I bet [G] my heart.
[C] [G]
Now I hold a hand that I [C] can't play.
[G] [D]
This is where the cowboy [G] rides away.
And my heart is sinking like the setting [C]
sun.
[G] [C] [G] [D]
Setting on the things I wish [G] we'd done.
[D] [G] It's time to say goodbye to [C] yesterday.
[G] [C] [G] [D]
This is where the cowboy [G] rides away.

[Em] [D] [G] [C] [G]
[Gb] [C] [G] We've been in and out of love and in [C] between.
[G] [C] [D]
Now we play the final show [G] down the sea.
As the credits roll, the sad song starts [C] to play.
[G] [C] [G] [D]
This is where the cowboy rides [G] away.

You know, Jim, the last goodbye is the hardest one to [C]
say and sing.
