Scatter The Ashes

G

[Verse 1]
         D                      Bm
He got busted up bad down in Lubbock
         G                      
He was taking the greyhound back 
  D
home.
            Bm          A      
Though the fire in his eye never 
    G
flickered,
            Bm           A        
He knew the best of his good days 
      G
were gone,
              D                 
He said I'm thinking a lot about 
   Bm
retiring,
          G                     
But the rodeo life is all that I 
  D
know,
        Bm       A           G
hey an' I don't know what to do with
 the rest,
         Bm         A        G
But I'm too burned out to go on.

He said,

[Chorus]
  D                 A
Scatter the ashes over the road,

 Bm                     G
Then let a strong wind blow,
        D
When I can't walk away,
A               Bm    G
It's my time to go.

[Verse 2]
         D                   Bm
He said son my road map to heaven
            G                  D
Sometimes leads me out of the way
                Bm    A           
Through those rodeo towns and 
    G
those drunkin' old sundowns
  Bm            A    G
Someday to an early grave.
                D               
He pulled his saddle up over his 
     Bm
shoulder,
            G                      
An' said before you throw dirt on 
    D
my bones,
             Bm         A         
Hey tell me what do you do with a 
  G
broken old cowboy.
        Bm             A       
Who's spent his whole life being 
     G
thrown.

He said,

[Chorus]
  D                 A
Scatter the ashes over the road,
 Bm                     G
Then let a strong wind blow,
        D
When I can't walk away,
A               Bm    G
It's my time to go.
