Last Driftin' Cowboy
by Hank Williams, Jr.
127 Rose Avenue
Key: A Major
[Verse 1]
A
1949
sure was a way back when
D
But that's when they formed the band who influenced
all of the music since then
E7
The twenty-five year old singer
was the king of moanin' the blues
D
His words would make you feel
And with that cryin' steel
Why they just
over powered you
[Verse 2]
A
I was one of the lucky few that
got to play with him
D
when I turned twenty-one he told me
son, I'm gonna fill you in
E7
don't believe that stuff about your dad bein'
sad to the end
D
He knew how to have fun
He owned the music son
He was a sharp dressed ramblin' man
[Verse 3]
A
Well now I gotta tell ya somethin'
I want the world to know
D
It's gonna shake your boots
and it might chill your soul
E7
'cause I just got the news
not too long ago
D
I've gotta break it to you
(No Guitar)
It's the...end of the show
(Slower tempo)
A D
The last driftin' cowboy is gone
E7
Our one link to Hank
A
and those great songs
A
I'm gonna play his steel guitar licks
D
all night long
E7
'cause the last driftin' cowboy has
A
found his way home
