Intro: {Cm}..{Eb}..{Bb}..{Gm}......
Cm It's the sag in the Eb timbers of and Bb abandoned line Gm shack
The Cm conspicuous Eb hump of a Bb gray woman's Gm back
It's the Cm weeds in the Eb rails of the Bb Burlington Gm track
It's the Cm knowing that Eb yesterday can never come F back
Cm Like a windmill Eb that's harnessed the Bb breeze for Gm years
Till the Cm gusts and the Eb rust have Bb ruined it's Gm gears
It's a Cm faded out Eb map from when the Bb steel rails still Gm shown
It's a Cm well worn old Eb riding horse that some kid's F outgrown
It's time's Bb hand in your Dm pocket taking Gm all that you own
Bb It's the Frio Town Dm courthouse left to Gm stand all alone
Bb It's the age of the Dm cowboy when there's Gm no old west left
Cm Where we go from Eb here boys is anyone's F guess I guess
Cm It's a whore's Eb realization that her Bb beauty will Gm spoil
It's a Cm wildcatter's Eb nightmare that there Bb is no more Gm oil
It's the Cm hills and the Eb parries Bb dissected with Gm roads
It's the Cm future, the Eb damned future , and it's and F ill wind that
bodes
It's time's Bb hand in your Dm pocket taking Gm all that you own
The Bb gambler's tired Dm eyes when his Gm last card is thrown
It's the Bb age of the Dm cowboy when there's Gm no old west left
Cm Where we go from Eb here boys is anyone's F guess I guess
instrumental:
Cm The old mountain Eb man has seen his Bb last first Gm snow
The Cm dried up old Eb poet he knows his Bb last rhyme has Gm flowed
Cm I don't believe Eb things Bm live just to Gm die
But Cm I just don't Eb think I'll ever F understand why
It's time's Bb hand in your Dm pocket taking Gm all that you own
Like the Bb wave robs the Dm shoreline and Gm wind carves the stone
It's the Bb age of the Dm cowboy when there's Gm no old west left
Cm Where we go from Eb here boys
Cm Where the hell are we Eb now boys
Cm Wha'll we do Eb now boys is anyone's F guess I guess
{N/C} I'd sure hate to Cm guess.
