Chorus (all together):
           D (xx0232@1)This is the last cowboy song
                                    G (320003@1)The end of ahundred (x02210@1)year waltz
              A (x02220@1)The voices sound sad as they're singing along
                                     D (xx0232@1)Another piece of America is lost


Verse 1:(Waylon Jennings)
            D (xx0232@1)He rides the feed lots,works in amarket (x02210@1)                                       A (x02220@1)On weekend selling tobacco and beer

	He dreams of tommorrow surrounded by fences
                                                        D (xx0232@1)But he'll dream tonight of when fences weren't here


Verse 2:(Kris Kristofferson)
           D (xx0232@1)He blazed the trail with Lewis and Clark
                                                 A (x02220@1)And eyeball to eyeball old Wyatt backed down

	He stood shoulder to shoulder with Travis in Texas
                                                    D (xx0232@1)And rode with the Seventh when Custer went down


Chorus.


Verse 3:(Willie Nelson)
           D (xx0232@1)Remington showed us how he looked on canvas
                                      A (x02220@1)And Louis Lamour told us his tale

	Me and Johnny and Waylon and Kris sing about him
                                                   D (xx0232@1)And wish to God we could have ridden his trail


Verse 4:(spoken-Johnny Cash) and the three others sing the chorus.
           D (xx0232@1)The old chisom trail is covered in concrete
                                               G (320003@1)They truck it to market in fifty foot rigs
           A (x02220@1)They roll by his graveside and don't even notice
                                               D (xx0232@1)Like living and dieing was all he ever did


Chorus.
