(G major) Jerry (C major) (G major) (C major) (G major) Jeff Walker (C major)
(G major)
(C major) We (G major) held a funeral and a wake at
Verse 2
(C major) the
Diamondback Saloon (G major)
With every old-time cowboy agathered
(A minor) (C major) in one (D major) room
(E minor) Swappin' tales and (C major) tellin' lies from
(G major) days when they were (C major) young
(G major) Fearless (E minor) buckaroos who always

Verse 3
behind the chutes,
(C major) standin' in the sun (G major)
Light reflecting off the shiny
(A minor) buckles (C major) that we'd (D major) won
(E minor) Farmin' boys from (C major) everywhere,
just a (G major) ropin' in our (C major) dreams
(G major) Buckin' down the (E minor) highway in old (C major) trucks
and (A minor) faded (G major) jeans (C major) (G major) (C major)
Verse 4
(G major) Cheyenne days to Fort Worth
nights, we drove (C major) every inch of (G major) road
We often spoke our dreams out loud, sharing
(A minor) rooms and (C major) dirty (D major) clothes
The (E minor) bandaged up, the (C major) broken ones,
too (G major) tough to ever (C major) cry
The (G major) one we won the (E minor) big go around,
the (C major) drinks (A minor) were ours to (G major) buy (C major) (G major) (C major)
(G major) Days were filled with mundane chores that
Verse 5
(C major)
kept us lean and (G major) mean
But our nights were spent out dancin'
with the (A minor) fairest (C major) girls we'd (D major) seen
Re (E minor) galing them with (C major) wild ass tales,
that (G major) weren't that far from (C major) true
There (G major) wasn't a (D major) single (E minor) fa vor asked that
(C major) your old pal wouldn't do (G major) (C major) (G major)
Verse 6
And every year (G major) the finals drew us
(C major) back to (G major) OKC
Shoulders, Mahan, Steiner,
Vol, T-bone (A minor) an d and (C major) old Duffy (D major)
And (E minor) when the dust had (C major) settled and
the (G major) last go-round was was (C major) run
We (G major) stayed up (D major) all night (E minor) singing songs
(C major) 'til every (A minor) song was (G major) sung (C major) (G major)
Verse 7
(G major) The broken bones and broken hearts
that (C major) led to broken homes (G major)
And the trails we rode together,
now we (A minor) travel on alone (D major)
And the (E minor) friends we saw each (C major) summer,
now we (G major) hardly saw at (C major) all
A (G major) little something's (E minor) broken off each (C major) time a
(A minor) cowboy (G major) falls (C major) (G major)
(C major) (G major) (C major)
Verse 8
(G major)
Well adios amigos, (C major) see you down the (G major) line
I sure enjoyed the bullshit,
cause it (A minor) brought back some good (D major) times
(E minor) And if you see those (C major) pals we knew from
(G major) days when we were (C major) young
(G major) Tell them I stil (E minor) saddle up just
to (C major) feel the ponies (G major) run
(C major) (G major)
