CAPO I


INTRO: D


CHORUS:
D
This is the last cowboy song
                          G
The end of a hundred year waltz
    A7
The music is sad as they're singin' along
                           D
Another piece of America's lost

D
He rides the feedlot, clerks in a market
                                A7
On weekends sellin' tobacco and beer

His days are spent surrounded by fences
                                               D     G   D
But he'll dream tonight of when fences weren't here

D
The Old Chisholm Trail is covered by concrete
           A7
They drive 'em to market in fifty foot rigs

They'll roll by his graveside and they don't even notice
                                      D
Like livin' and dyin' was all that he did


CHORUS


(KEY CHANGE)

E
This is the last cowboy song
                          A
The end of a hundred year waltz
    B7
The voices are sad as they're singin' along
                           E
Another piece of America's lost

E                             A   B7  E (repeat and fade)
This is the last cowboy song
