Capo on 2nd fret
CHORUS:
D A G D
Adios days on the wide open prairie
D A G
Nights in the canyon are gone
D A G D
Steven is dead, Johnny got married
D A G
Me I'm here all on my own
D
I'm all on my own
D A G D
I used to have nights on the town of Laredo
D A G
Spinning them girls cross the floor
D A G D
Now I'm too old for dancing, far gone from the whiskey
D A G
So I don't go down there no more.
CHORUS
BREAK
D A G 4x
D A G D
My dad was a top hand when he was a young man
D A G
He rode for the Diamond-Bar-J
D A G D
He'd push all day long from the back of his pony
D A D
At nighttime he'd gather the strays
D A G D
Well he hated the city, cussed all the railroads
D A G
Said they would lead us to fall
D A G D
Now we have street cars, and cowboys are dying
D A G
I guess he weren't too far from wrong.
CHORUS 2x
OUTRO
D A G D A G D
