was his constant companion.

She gave him his reasons 
     F               Em
to shoulder the seasons,
   Bb           Am 
but now when you see him
     D       G
he's riding alone.

   C           G/B
She lay down beside him
    F            Em

  Bb           Am
and whisper to him
         D            G
that old song he would play.

      C            G/B
Please lay down beside me,
    F      Em
How I love you.
   F            Am
Never wanted to bid this adieu.

   D               C
than an old cowboy love,
   D              G               C     
than an old cowboy love that runs true.
