C/G Am
F Em
Dm/F# G G7
[Verse 1]
C/G G
It's a long way round the llano estecado
G7 C/G
Well, turn 'em north towards Colorado
Am Em
Across the wide pecos the sun it did bake us
Dm/F# G G7
We're bound to make us a buck
[Verse 2]
C/G G
Two thousands long horned cattle
G7 C/G
Some 18 good men in the saddle
Am Em
We knew of the dangers me and that old ranger
Dm/F# G G7
paired up in this strange enterprise
[Chorus]
C/G G
Goodbye goodnight, so long my friend
G7 C/G
I fear New Mexico is where my trail ends
Am
Laid on me with kindness
Em Dm/F# G G7
These were the last loving words
[Instrumental]
C/G G G7 C/G
Am Em Dm/F# G G7
[Chorus]
C/G G
Goodbye goodnight, so long my friend
G7 C/G
I fear New Mexico is where my trail ends
Am
Laid on me with kindness
Em Dm/F# G G7
These were the last loving words
[Verse 3]
C/G G
The trails have been all paved over
G7 C/G
And so too has the time of the drover
Am Em
We cowmen remember that night in September
Dm/F# G G7
In Fort Sumner these words could be heard
[Chorus]
C/G G
Goodbye goodnight, so long my friend
G7 C/G
I fear New Mexico is where my trail ends
Am
Laid on me with kindness
Em Dm/F# G G7
These were the last loving words
