The Last Loving Words Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]It's a long way 'round
the Llano [G]Estacado
We turned 'em north
towards Col[C]orado
[Am]Crossed the wide pecos,
the [Em]sun, it did bake us
[Bm]But we're bound to [D]make
us a [G]buck

[Verse 2]
[C]Two thousand long-horn cattle
[G]cattle
Some eighteen good men in the [C]saddle
We [Am]knew of the dangers
Me [Em]and that old ranger
Paired [D]up in this strange enterprise
[G][D][G]

[Verse 3]
[D]So goo[C]dbye, goodnight
[G]So long, my friend
I fear that New Mexico is
[C]where my trail ends
Think [Am]on me with kindness
[Em]These were the last loving [G]words

[Interlude 1]
[C][G][D][C]
[Am][Em][D][G]

[Verse 4]
The [C]trails have been all but [G]paved over
So too, has the time of the [C]drover
But [Am]cowmen remember that
[Em]night in September
In Fort [D]Sumner,
these words [G]could be heard

[Verse 5]
[C]Goodbye, goodnight
[G]So long, my [D]friend[G]
I fear that New Mexico is
[C]where my trail ends
[G]Think [Am]on me with kindness
[Em]These were the last lov[G]ing words

[Outro 1]
