Verse 1
Out (D major) in the state (A major) of
West
Texas (D major)
Old (G major) cowboys, they all (G minor) (G major) gathered round (D major)
A family of friends from all over
To spread (E major) his ashes around (A major)
In the (D major) stirrups,
his boot (A major) s were tied backwards (D major)
Bill (G major) led his horse up the trail (F sharp major)
He had (G major) to be there,
(A flatdim) he was (D major) cast in the air (B major)
I'll re (E major) member the rest (A major) of my days (D major)
Way out in that desert (A major) terrain (D major)
They scattered (G major) his ashes on (G minor) the (D major) plains
On that painted plateau we (A major) (D major) had to let go
Of a (E major) man we were all glad to know (A major)
Cowboy (D major)
Frankie (A major) played fiddle (D major)
He had (G major) a great tear in his eye (F sharp major)
Our friend (G minor) he had (G major) gone, (A flatdim)
but he (D major) picked (A major) his own home (B major)
A good (E major) place to rest (A major) when he died (D major)
Now he's just dust (A major) in the wind (D major)
He'd (G major) been every place that I've (D major) been
In spite (G minor) of in (G major) justice (E major) he (A flatdim)
al (D major) ways stood tall (B major)
He'd a (E major) done it all over (A major) again (D major) (A major) (D major)
(G major) (D major) (G major) (A flatdim) (D major) (B minor) (B major) (E major)
(A major) (D major)
He was not a man (A major) of great for (D major) tune,
Born (G major) of a mixture in race. (D major)
French and
Indian,
Irish and black,
He was slighted (E major) by all in disgrace. (A major)
As a (D major) playwright, this friend (A major)
Addressed the (D major) troubles of men.
He won (G major) a great prize of his day. (F sharp major)
But his true (G major) friends were al (E major) ways
(A flatdim) the cow (D major) boys.
Heard (B major) nothing (E major) from them
(A major) but their praise (D major)
The song that was sun (A major) g was
one (D major) of farewell
Goodbye (G major) to the friend we'd known well (D major)
A great man had died in
West
Texas
Gone to (E major) heaven from a life lived in hell (A major)
The cowboy's (D major) lament (A major) to his spirit (D major)
So moved (G major) me I could not speak a word (F sharp major)
Dust (G major) in the wind (E major) is (A flatdim)
(D major) what he became (B major)
I'll (E major) never forget (A major) what I heard (D major)
Now it's just dust (A major) and the wind (D major)
Weeping (G minor) every (G major) place that I've (D major) been
In (G major) spite of injustice,
(A flatdim) (E major) he al (D major) ways stood tall (B major)
He'd have (E major) done it all over (A major)
again (D major) (G major) (E major) (D major) (B major) (E major) (A major) (D major)
