verse 1:
G C/G G G/B
When the boy was no more than a shaver
D D7 G G/B
His old man told many a tale
G C G G/B
How his great granddad used to go drovin’
D D7 G
Back and forth on the old Chisholm Trail
C
Now you might say the boy got infected
G
By a fantasy of the old west
A7
For his heart and his soul got connected
D D7
To a spirit that won’t let him rest
G G/B C D
Now he don’t wear spurs that go jingle
G G/B C D
He don’t spend his nights ‘round a fire
G G/B C D Dsus4 D Dsus2 D
And it’s diesel oil that his horses require
G G/B C D
He is a latter day cowboy
G G/B C D
Dressed as a truck drivin’ man
G G/B C D G
Drivin’ his wheels and his dreams to Cheyenne
Repeat Intro
verse 2:
G C G G/B
He beds down by the side of the highway
D D7 G C
At the sight of the first evenin’ star
G C G G/B
In the darkness his big pony idles
D D7 G
As he quietly strums his guitar
C
And he sings out a song of his sweetheart
G
Even as her sweet mem’ry grows dim
A7
And he sings of the trail he has chosen
D D7
But the actual fact is the trail chose him
