The Last Cowboy Song chords - The Highwaymen

Chorus (all together):
           D
        This is the last cowboy song 
                                    G
        The end of a hundred year waltz
              A
        The voices sound sad as they're singing along
                                     D
        Another piece of America is lost


Verse 1:(Waylon Jennings)
            D
        He rides the feed lots,clerks in a market
                                       A
        On weekend selling tobacco and beer

        He dreams of tommorrow surrounded by fences
                                                        D
        But he'll dream tonight of when fences weren't here


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

        He stood shoulder to shoulder with Travis in Texas
                                                    D
        And rode with the Seventh when Custer went down


Chorus.


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

        Me and Johnny and Waylon and Kris sing about him
                                                   D
        And wish to God we could have ridden his trail


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