Intro 1
(G major) (C major) (D major) (G major)
Verse 1
(G major) As the night softly
fell down upon (C major) the old corral
And (G major) the moon in (D major) to the (G major) blue sky
made its (D major) way
Not (G major) a sound could be heard,
but the (C major) song of some wild bird
As it (D major) hovered where a dying cowboy (G major) lay
Then he whispered goodnight
to his cow (C major) boy pal so dear
As (G major) his head upon (D major) his (G major) saddle faded (D major) lay
If (B minor) you (G major) ever go home,
you can (C major) tell them that I've gone
And I'm (D major) sleeping in a lonesome
western grave (G major)
Mother begged me not to
stray from (C major) the old home,
go away, though I (D major) loved her (G major) still,
her pleading for (D major) in vain.
Dry those tears (G major) boys, please don't cry,
One more round (C major) up we will ride,
Where we'll know (D major) no sorrow,
heartaches, tears, or (G major) pain.
Oh, that dear old shady stream,
Where (D major) of (C major) times I used to dream,
It was (D major) there (G major) I used
to meet the girl I (D major) loved
But (G major) I'll never see her more
till (C major) we reach that golden shore
Way up (D major) there we'll meet
in that bright land above (G major)
Then he whispered goodnight
to his (E minor) cow (C major) boy pal so dear
And his (D major) head (G major) upon his saddle stayed at (D major) lay
If (B minor) (D major) you (G major) ever go home,
you can (C major) tell them that I've gone
And I'm (G major) sleeping (D major) in
a lonesome western dream (G major)
