The Last Cowboy Song — Ed Bruce
Chords and lyrics for The Last Cowboy Song by Ed Bruce (key of D).
Chorus
[D]This is the last cowboy song
The end of a hundred year [G]waltz
[A]Voices sound sad as they're singing along
Another piece of America's [D]lost
Verse 1
[D]He rides a feed lot and clerks in a market
On weekends selling tobacco and [A]beer
His [A]dreams of tomorrow surrounded by fences
But he'll dream tonight of when fences weren't [D]here
[D]He blazed the trail with Lewis and Clark
And eyeball to eyeball Ol' Wyatt backed [A]down
He stood [A]shoulder to shoulder with Travis in Texas
And rode with the Seventh when Custer went [D]down
Chorus
[D]This is the last cowboy song
The end of a hundred year [G]waltz
[A]Voices sound sad as they're singing along
Another piece of America's [D]lost
Verse 2
[D]Remington showed us how he looked on canvas
And Louis L'Amour has told us his [A]tale
And [A]Willie and Waylon and me sing about him
And wish to God we could have ridden his [D]trail
Bridge
[D] The Old Chisholm Trail is covered in concrete now
And they truck 'em to market in fifty foot [G]rigs
[A] They just blow by his market never slowing to reason
Like living and dying was all he [D]did
Chorus
[D]This is the last cowboy song
The end of a hundred year [G]waltz
[A]Voices sound sad as they're singing along
Another piece of America's [D]lost
Outro
[D]This is the [G]last cowboy [D]song
