Chorus (all together): 
           D5 
      This is the last cowboy song  
                                    G5 
      The end of a hundred year waltz 
              A5 
      The voices sound sad as they're singing along 
                                     D5 
      Another piece of America is lost 
 
Verse 1:(Waylon Jennings) 
            D5 
      He rides the feed lots,works in a market 
                                       A5 
      On weekend selling tobacco and beer 
 
      He dreams of tommorrow surrounded by fences 
                                                        D5 
      But he'll dream tonight of when fences weren't here 
 
Verse 2:(Kris Kristofferson) 
           D5 
      He blazed the trail with Lewis and Clark 
                                                 A5 
      And eyeball to eyeball old Wyatt backed down 
 
      He stood shoulder to shoulder with Travis in Texas 
                                                    D5 
      And rode with the Seventh when Custer went down 
 
Chorus. 
 
Verse 3:(Willie Nelson) 
           D5 
      Remington showed us how he looked on canvas 
                                      A5 
      And Louis Lamour told us his tale 
 
      Me and Johnny and Waylon and Kris sing about him 
                                                   D5 
      And wish to God we could have ridden his trail 
 
Verse 4:(spoken-Johnny Cash) and the three others sing the chorus. 
           D5 
      The old chisom trail is covered in concrete 
                                               G5 
      They truck it to market in fifty foot rigs 
           A5 
      They roll by his graveside and don't even notice 
                                               D5 
      Like living and dieing was all he ever did 
 
Chorus.
