************ THE LAST COWBOY SONG ************

performed by Waylon Jennings
Kris Kristofferson
Johnny Cash
Willie Nelson

Chorus (all together):
DD Piano Chord 

This is the last cowboy song
GG Piano Chord 

The end of a hundred year waltz
AA Piano Chord 

The voices sound sad as they're singing along
DD Piano Chord 

Another piece of America is lost

Verse 1:(Waylon Jennings)
DD Piano Chord 

He rides the feed lots,works in a market
AA Piano Chord 

On weekend selling tobacco and beer

He dreams of tommorrow surrounded by fences
DD Piano Chord 

But he'll dream tonight of when fences weren't here

Verse 2:(Kris Kristofferson)
DD Piano Chord 

He blazed the trail with Lewis and Clark
AA Piano Chord 

And eyeball to eyeball old Wyatt backed down

He stood shoulder to shoulder with Travis in Texas
DD Piano Chord 

And rode with the Seventh when Custer went down

Chorus.

Verse 3:(Willie Nelson)
DD Piano Chord 

Remington showed us how he looked on canvas
AA Piano Chord 

And Louis Lamour told us his tale

Me and Johnny and Waylon and Kris sing about him
DD Piano Chord 

And wish to God we could have ridden his trail

Verse 4:(spoken-Johnny Cash) and the three others sing the chorus.
DD Piano Chord 

The old chisom trail is covered in concrete
GG Piano Chord 

They truck it to market in fifty foot rigs
AA Piano Chord 

They roll by his graveside and don't even notice
DD Piano Chord 

Like living and dieing was all he ever did

Chorus.
