Red Steagall - Palo Duro Farewell Chords

C                            F
I sold out and it’s time for leavin’

  C                                       G7
I cleaned out my desk and it’s all packed away

C                  F
No man is ever too old to start over

      C         G7         C
But I feel like an old man today



C                        F
And I said goodbye to my partner

    C                                    G7
Goodbye to the cowhands who worked the J 8

C                      F
Molly you’re ready but give me a moment

     C            G7          C   C7
I’ve just one goodbye left to say



F          G7      Am
Goodbye to my Palo Duro 
 
F                           C         G7
Goodbye to your ranges that I love so true

Am
Goodbye to your river your bright painted canyons

     C        G7          Am
I’ll never do better than you

     C        G7          C
I’ll never do better than you



C                        F
Like the buffalo and the Comanche

   C                               G7
My farewell is neither fair nor complete

C                       F
If leaving is dying the nature of parting

     C              G7          C
Is a damn site more sorrow than sweet



C                          F
In the labor and love of a life time

       C                                       G7
What’s right and what’s wrong are confusing to me

C                            F
If I take the credit for the things that she is

     C                      G7               C   C7
I’ll take the blame for the things she might be



F          G7      Am
Goodbye to my Palo Duro
  
F                           C         G7
Goodbye to your ranges that I love so true

Am
Goodbye to your river your bright painted canyons

     C        G7          Am
I’ll never do better than you

     C        G7          C
I’ll never do better than you
