[F#] [E] [D]
This is the last cowboy song, the end of a [Am] hundred [G] year wall.
[A] The voices sound sad and they're singing along, another piece of
[D] America's law.
He rides the feedlot, clerks in a market, on weekends selling tobacco [A] and beer.
And his dreams of tomorrow, [Em] [A] surrounded by fences, but he'll dream tonight of when fences [D] weren't here.
He blazed the trail with Lewis and Clark, and eyeball to eyeball, old Wyatt [A] back down.
He stood shoulder to shoulder with Travis and Texas, and rode with the 7th when Custer [D] went down.
This is the last cowboy song, the end of a hundred [G] year wall.
[A] The voices sound sad and they're singing along, another piece of [D] America's law.
Remington showed us how he looked on canvas, and Louis L'Amour has told us [A] his tale.
Me and Johnny and Waylon and Chris sang about him, and wished to God we could have ridden [D] his trail.
The old Chisholm trail was covered in concrete, and they trucked him to market in [G] 50 foot rigs.
[A] They rolled by his marker and don't even notice, like living and dying was all we ever did.
