Chorus (all together): 
           D 
        This is the last cowboy song  
                                    G 
        The end of a hundred year waltz 
              A 
        The voices sound sad as they're singing along 
                                     D 
        Another piece of America is lost 
 
 
Verse 1:(Waylon Jennings) 
            D 
        He rides the feed lots,works in a market 
                                       A 
        On weekend selling tobacco and beer 
 
        He dreams of tommorrow surrounded by fences 
                                                        D 
        But he'll dream tonight of when fences weren't here 
 
 
Verse 2:(Kris Kristofferson) 
           D 
        He blazed the trail with Lewis and Clark 
                                                 A 
        And eyeball to eyeball old Wyatt backed down 
 
        He stood shoulder to shoulder with Travis in Texas 
                                                    D 
        And rode with the Seventh when Custer went down 
 
 
Chorus. 
 
 
Verse 3:(Willie Nelson) 
           D 
        Remington showed us how he looked on canvas 
                                      A 
        And Louis Lamour told us his tale 
 
        Me and Johnny and Waylon and Kris sing about him 
                                                   D 
        And wish to God we could have ridden his trail 
 
 
Verse 4:(spoken-Johnny Cash) and the three others sing the chorus. 
           D 
        The old chisom trail is covered in concrete 
                                               G 
        They truck it to market in fifty foot rigs 
           A 
        They roll by his graveside and don't even notice 
                                               D 
        Like living and dieing was all he ever did 
 
 
Chorus.
