The Last Cowboy Song

D
This is the last cowboy song
                          G
The end of a hundred year waltz
A
Voices sound sad as they're singing 
along
                           D
Another piece of America's lost


[Verse 1]
D
He rides a feed lot and clerks in a 
market
                                A
On weekends selling tobacco and beer
    A
His dreams of tomorrow surrounded by
 fences
But he'll dream tonight of when 
               D
fences weren't here

D
He blazed the trail with Lewis and 
Clark
And eyeball to eyeball Ol' Wyatt 
       A
backed down
         A
He stood shoulder to shoulder with 
Travis in Texas
Continues after the ad
And rode with the Seventh when 
            D
Custer went down


[Chorus]
D
This is the last cowboy song
                          G
The end of a hundred year waltz
A
Voices sound sad as they're singing 
along
                           D
Another piece of America's lost


[Verse 2]
D
Remington showed us how he looked on
 canvas
And Louis L'Amour has told us his 
A
tale
    A
And Willie and Waylon and me sing 
about him
And wish to God we could have ridden
     D
 his trail


[Bridge]
D
  The Old Chisholm Trail is covered 
in concrete now
And they truck 'em to market in 
           G
fifty foot rigs
A
  They just blow by his market never
 slowing to reason
                                 D
Like living and dying was all he did


[Chorus]
D
This is the last cowboy song
                          G
The end of a hundred year waltz
A
Voices sound sad as they're singing 
along
                           D
Another piece of America's lost
