[Verse 1]
        G                          D           A
Well, I still wear his old, faded, red bandana
  Em                        D                A
I use it to wipe the sweat away from my brow
         G                   D                       A
You know I used it to dry my eyes on the day that he left me
                Em                   D                 A
What I wouldn't give to have him here still wearing it now

[Verse 2]
G                          D                  A
It's hard to believe it'll be 20 years come November
    Em                    D                     A
Man, sometimes I swear it seems like only last fall
      G                            D                      A
I can still hear the wisdom in his words like well-spoken poetry
                    Em                    D           A
I can still see the salt rings on his old 20X Resistol

[Verse 3]
G                D                       A
  Ah, but the days turned to months into ages
Em                D              A
  Just as sure as barbed wire turns into rust
    G            D                A
Old cowboys ride off into the sunset
         Em    D        A
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust

[Chorus]
A        G     D        A
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
A        Em    D        A
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
A        G     D        A
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
