  performed by Waylon Jennings

  	     Johnny Cash

               Willie Nelson

  

  

  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.
