Verse 1
(D major) The kid was (A major) tall, rangy, (G major)
(D major) still wet behind (G major) the (A major) ears
But (G major) he could ride (D major) and (B minor) he could
(E minor) roam (A major) way (G major) beyond (A major) his years (D major)
He said,
(B minor) Daddy, can I ride (F sharp minor) with you
now (G major) that I'm sixteen? (D major)
Help (B minor) you drive them dog
(F sharp minor) gies up the trail (G major) to
Abilene (A major)
His (D major) daddy was (A major) a mighty (G major) man,
(D major) a cowboy to the (A major) bone
Trail (G major) boss for (D major) the
(B minor) J -Bar -Z (A major) out east (G major) of
San
(A major) Antone
(D major) He said, (B minor) boy,
don't get impatient (F sharp minor) now
You've (G major) got a lot to learn (D major)
You'll get (B minor) your chance to be (F sharp minor) top hand
But you'll (G major) have to wait your turn (A major)
Cause the (G major) trail goes on forever (A major)
And the days (D major) get mighty long
(B minor) If a (G major) northern stock's too blow (A major) in'
It can (D major) chill you to the bone (B minor)
And there's rivers (G major) and there's rust (A major) lers
And you've (D major) got to understand
(G major) It (D major) takes more (E minor) than just a
cow (D major) boy's son
You've (A major) got to be a man (D major) (G major)
(D major) (G major) (Dsus4) (D major) (G major) (A major)
(D major) Against his (A major) daddy's wishes, (D major)
he left that very day (A major)
Signed (G major) on with (D major) the
(B minor) Double
D to (A major) drive (G major) the
(A major) Chisholm train
(D major) There were two (B minor) weeks out of
Texas (F sharp minor)
He was (G major) ridin' a drag one night
(D major) When an (B minor) order started blowin' (F sharp minor)
And
Simpler
(G major) Heard was out of sight (A major)
The snow (D major) was (A major) fallin' faster (G major) now
(D major) The cold wind took (G major) his (D major) breath (A major)
He knew (G major) the end (D major) was com (B minor) ing soon,
(A major) he was (G major) sure to freeze (A major) to death (D major)
Went out of (B minor) the blinding white (F sharp minor) ness,
rode a tall (G major) and mighty man
(D major) He said, (B minor) son, I was just (F sharp minor) passing through,
thought (G major) you could use a hand (A major)
Cause the (G major) trail goes on forever (A major) and
the (D major) days get mighty long
(B minor) When that old (G major) north wind starts a (A major) blowin'
it can chew (D major) you to the bones (B minor)
And so the top (G major) hand always has (A major) to
do the (D major) very best he can (G major) (D major)
And I (E minor) knew you were a cow (D major) boy,
now I (A major) know that you're a man (B minor)
(A major) I (G major) knew you were a cow (D major) boy, son,
now you've (A major) become a man (D major) (G major) (D major) (G major) (D major) (G major) (A major)
you
